[F] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk with [D#m] you again
[F#] a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[B] and the vision
my [F#] brain
[D#m] [A#m] within the sound of [A#] silence
[C#] walked alone
of [D#m] cobblestone
[F#] a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[B] and the vision
my [F#] brain
[D#m] [A#m] within the sound of [A#] silence
[C#] walked alone
of [D#m] cobblestone

_ [F] _ _ _ _ Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, _ _ I've come to talk with [D#m] you again
_ _ _ Because [F#] a vision [B] softly _ [F#] creeping _ _
Left its seeds while I was sleeping _
[B] and the vision
That was planted in my [F#] brain
_ still remains
[D#m] _ _ [A#m] within the sound of [A#] silence
_ _ [D#m] In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone
_ _ narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
_ _ _ _ Near the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp
I turned my collar to [B] the cold [F#] and damp _
[B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light
_ split the night _
_ _ [C#] Touch the sound _
[D#m] Of silence
_ _ And in the naked [C#] light I saw
_ 10,000 people maybe [D#] more
[D#m] _ _ _ People talking [B] without _ [F#] speaking
_ People hearing [B] without [F#] listening
_ People writing songs
_ _ That voices never [F#] share
No one dared [D#m] _ _ disturb the [C#] sound _ of silence
_ _ _ Said [C#] I do not know
_ _ Silence like a [D#m] cancer grows
_ _ _ Hear my [F#] words that [B] I might [F#] teach you
_ Take my arms [B] that I might [D#m] reach you
_ But [B] my words
like silent _ raindrops fell
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _
[F#] In echoes _ _ [C#] of _ _
_ [D#m] silence
_ _ And the people [C#] bowed and prayed
_ _ To the neon [D#m] god they made
_ _ _ And the sign flashed [B] out its [F#] warning
_ In the words that [B] it was forming
[F#] _ _ And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls
_ _ Tenement halls
[D#m] In the spirit
_ _ _ [C#] _
_ Of _ _ [D#] silence _
[A#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
