[F] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk [D#m] with you again
Because a vision softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I [F#] was sleeping
And [B] the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still [A#m] [D#m] remains
[F#] Within [C#] the sound of [A#] silence, [D#m] in restless [C#] dreams I wandered
Down the streets [D#m] of my old slum, the new [B] old mainstream [F#] land
I turned my collar [B] to a [F#] cold new dam, [D#m]
[B] when my eyes were spammed
By the flash of an neon [F#]
light, split the [Fm] night
[D#] [F#] [C#]
Silence, [D#] silence, and it would make [C#] it light a song
Ten thousand people, [D#] maybe [D#m] more
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening
[D#m] People writing [B] songs, that voices never [F#] share, no one [D#] hears
[F] So [C#]
[D#] they said I had [C#] to not moan, silence like a [D#] cancer grow
Hear my words [B] that I might need [F#] you, take my arms [B] that I might [F#] need you
[D#m]
[B] But my words, like silent rain, must [F#] fail
[D#] [F#] [C#]
[D#] And the people [C#] fell and prayed, to hear of the [D#m] ungodly maid
And the silent light [B] had its [F#] warning, with a word [B] that it was [F#] forming
And [D#m] the siren said the [B] words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#]
walls
Ten million [Fm] [D#] holes [F#]
[C#] [D#] of [F#] silence
