The Sound of Silence Chords by Pentatonix

Hello darkness my [C#] old friend, _ _ _ I've come to talk with you again
_ Because _ _ a vision softly [D] _ creeping, [A] _ _
_ left its seeds while I [D] was [A] sleeping
_ _ _ [D] And the vision _ _ [C#m] that [D] was planted in my _ [A] brain, _ still [F#m] _
remains
[E] _ [F#m] _ _ Within the [A] _ [E] sound _ [F#m] of silence
_ [C#m] _ [F#m] In restless dreams [E] I walked alone, _ _ _ _ narrow streets of [F#m] cobblestone _ _ _
_ _ [B] Near the [A] halo [D] of a street [A] _ lamp, I turned my collar [D] to the cold [A] and damp _
When [D] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon _ [A] _ light
That [F#m] split the [G#m] _ [A] [F#m] night, _
[E] and touched the sound _ of [F#m] silence
_ [C#m] _ [F#m] _ And in the naked light [E] I _ _ _ saw, [A] two thousand [E] people, [Bm] maybe _
_ _ [F#m] more
_ People talking [D] without _ [A] speaking, _ _ _ people hearing [D] without _ [A]
seeing
People writing [D] songs _ _ _ _ _ _ _ never _ _ seen, [F#m] and no one _ [A] there
_ [E] To stay beside
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [A] _ [G] Of silence
Fools say that you do [A] not _ know, _ _ silence [F#m] like a [Bm] cancer _ _ _ grows
_ Hear [D] my words that [G] I might teach you, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ but my will, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ an echo in the world _ _ [A] _ of [Bm] silence
_ _ [F#m] _ [Bm] _ In the people [A] mounting _ _ _ _ _ to the neon [Bm] god _ _ _
_ _ In the sirens that [G] shouted this morning, _ _ _ _ _ that you were lucky
[Bm] _ _ _ _
In [D] the signs that [G] the world _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] loves, [Bm] and terror it _ _ holds
_ And _ [D]
whispered in the [A] sound _ of _ _
[Bm] _ silence _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
