Hello darkness [C#] my old friend
I've come to talk with you [D#m] again
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping
Left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping
And the [B] vision that was planted in my brain
still [A#m] remains
[F#]
[C#] within the sound
[F] Of silence
[D#m]
In restless dreams [C#] I walked alone
narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
Leave the middle [B] of a street [F#] lamp
I turned my [B] colors into coal [F#] and dand
When my [B] eyes were spared by the flash of a neon light
Split the [D#m] night
[F#]
[C#] Touch the sound
[D#m] It's silent [D#] and in the naked [C#] light I saw
10,000 people [D#] maybe more
[D#m] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking
People [B] hearing without [F#] listening
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share
No one there
[D#]
[C#] to scare the sound
[D#m] Of silence
Fools that I [C#] do not know
Silence like [D#] a cancer grows
[D#m] Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you
Take my [B] arms that I might [F#] reach you
But my [B] words
Like silent rain drops fell
[D#m] [F#] Echo
[C#] The will [D#m] of silence
And the people bowed [C#] and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its [F#] warning
In the [B] words that it [F#] was forming
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls
Tenement halls
[D#m]
[F#] Whisper
The sound
[D#m] Of silence
[A#m] [D#m] [N]
I've come to talk with you [D#m] again
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping
Left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping
And the [B] vision that was planted in my brain
still [A#m] remains
[F#]
[C#] within the sound
[F] Of silence
[D#m]
In restless dreams [C#] I walked alone
narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
Leave the middle [B] of a street [F#] lamp
I turned my [B] colors into coal [F#] and dand
When my [B] eyes were spared by the flash of a neon light
Split the [D#m] night
[F#]
[C#] Touch the sound
[D#m] It's silent [D#] and in the naked [C#] light I saw
10,000 people [D#] maybe more
[D#m] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking
People [B] hearing without [F#] listening
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share
No one there
[D#]
[C#] to scare the sound
[D#m] Of silence
Fools that I [C#] do not know
Silence like [D#] a cancer grows
[D#m] Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you
Take my [B] arms that I might [F#] reach you
But my [B] words
Like silent rain drops fell
[D#m] [F#] Echo
[C#] The will [D#m] of silence
And the people bowed [C#] and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its [F#] warning
