[Bm] [E] [B] [Bm]
[Em]
Hello darkness [D] my old friend, I've come to talk [Em] with you again.
Because a vision [C] softly [G] creeping, left its seeds while I [C] was [G] sleeping.
And [C] the vision that was planted in [G] my brain, still remains [Em]
[G] within [D] the sound [Em] of silence.
In restless dreams I [D] walked alone, narrow streets of [Em]
cobblestone.
Beneath [G] the halo [C] of a street [G] lamp, I turned my collar to [C] the cold [G] and damp.
[C] When my eyes were snapped by the flash of a neon [G] light, that split the [Em] night [G] [D] and touched the sound [Em] of silence.
And in the naked [D] light I saw, ten thousand people, [Em] maybe four.
[G] People talking [C] about [G] what's to do, people hearing [C] without [G] listening.
People writing [C] songs that voices never [G] shared, and no one [Em] did.
[G] [D] Disturb the sound of [Em] silence, fools that I do [Bm] not know.
[D]
[D] Silence like a [Em] cancer grows.
[G] Hear my words that I [C] might [G] teach you, take my arms that [C] I might [G] reach you.
But [C] my words like silent [G] raindrops fell, [C]
[G] [Em] [G] in echoes
[Bm] [D] of [Em] silence.
And the people [D] bowed and prayed, to the [Em] neon god they made.
And [G] the sign [C] flashed [G] its warning, in the words that it [C] [G] was for me.
And the sign said [C] the words of the prophets are written on the [G] subway walls,
and tenement [Em] halls, [G] and whispered [D] in the sound [B]
[Em] of silence.
