[A#]
[D#] [A#m] [D#] [F] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk with [D#m] you again.
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was sleeping.
[F#]
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [D#m] remains [A#m] within the [C#] sound
[D#m] of [A#] silence.
[D#m] It lets the strings I [C#] want to hold me.
Parasites of [D#m] common stone, in the hill [B] of a bay [F#] street lamp,
I turned my collar to [B] a cold [F#] and damp.
[B] When my eyes were spared by the flash of a neon [F#] light,
the spell that
[D#m] night, [F#] [C#] just to [D#m] seize.
And it would make you [C#] out as strong, ten thousand people maybe [D#m] more.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening,
people writing [B] songs, voices no more [F#] to share.
[B] No [F#] one [D#m] there, [F#] to [C#] hear the sound, [D#m] to see the light.
You said [D] I need [C#] to know, silence like a [D#m] gun soon blow.
Hear my [F#] words [B] that I might [F#] be true, take my arms [B] that I might be [F#] true.
But [B] my words, rain [F#] drops down, [D#m]
[F#] the voice, [C#] the voice.
[D#m] And where people [C#] got me, [D#m] they made me.
And the silence [B] that is [F#] warning, hear my words [B] that it was [F#] for me.
And the silence has [B] the words of a
[F#] broken heart.
[D#m] [F#] [C#]
Of [D#m] a silent heart.
[G] [D#m]
