Sounds of Silence(Emiliana Torrini) Chords

[A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ Hello darkness [G] my old friend, _ I've come to talk with [A] you [E] again.
_ _ [A] _ [C] Because a vision softly [Fm] [C] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
_ _ [F] And the vision that was planted in [C] my brain, _ still [Am] remains.
_ [C] _
[G] Within the _ sound [A] of [E] [Am] silence. _
In restless dreams I [G] walked alone, _ _
_ Narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone. _ _
_ [C] Neatly halo [F] of a [C] street lamp,
I turned my collar [F] to the [C] golden damp.
_ When my eyes [F] were stabbed by the flesh of
a [C] neon _ light, that split the night, [Am] _ _ [C] and [G] touched the sound [Am] of silence.
_ And in the naked [G] light I saw, _ _ ten thousand people, [Am] maybe more. _ _ _
[C] People talking [F] without [C] speaking, _ _ people hearing [F] without [C] listening, _
People writing [F] _ songs that voices never [C] share, and no one dare,
[Am] _ _ [C] To [G] sniff the sound [Am] of silence.
_ _ She said, I, you do [G] not know, _ _ _ silence like a [Am] cancer grows.
_ _ _ [C] In my words that [F] I might [C] teach you, _ take my arms that [F] I might [C] reach you,
_ [F] But my words like silent _ [C] rocks fell, _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [C] and _ echoed [G] in the _ waves [Am] of silence.
_ And the people [G] bowed and prayed, _ _ _ to the neon [Am] prophet made,
_ _ _ [C] And the sign flashed [F] out its [C] warning, _ _ in the words that [F] it was [C] forming.
_ _ And the sign [F] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [C] walls,
And tenement halls, [Am] _ [C] and whispered [G] in the sound _ of [C] silence.
