[D#] Hello darkness my [C#] old friend
I've come to talk with you [G#m]
again
[B] Because [G#] [F#] a vision softly creeping
Left [Bm] its seeds while I [F#] was sleeping
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain
[A#m] [D#] Still remains [C#] within the sound [D#] of [D#m] silence
In restless dreams I walked [A#m]
alone
[C#] Narrow streets of [D#m]
cobblestone
Neath the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp
I turned my color to [B] the cold [F#] and damp
[B] When my eyes were [F#] stabbed [B] by the flash of a neon [F#] light
That split the [D#m] night
And touched the [C#] sound [D#m] of silence
And in the naked [C#] light I saw
[A#m] Ten thousand people, [G#] maybe [D#m] more
People talking [Bm] without [F#] speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing [D#m] songs that voices [C#] never
[D#m] shared
No one dared disturb the [C#] sound [D#m] of [C] silence
Fools that I, [F#] you do not [B] know
[C#] Silence like [D#m] a cancer grows
[C#] Hear [F#] my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you
Take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you
But [B] my words like silent [F#] raindrops fell
[B]
[F#m] And echoed in the [B] [D#m] wells of silence
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed
To the neon god [D#m] they made
And the sign [F#] flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [F#] walls
And tenement halls
And [C#]
[F#m] whispered in [C#] the sound
You requested it more times than I could possibly imagine
[G#] This actually broke the request record
The song is available all over the internet
It's on every digital platform you can think of
I've come to talk with you [G#m]
again
[B] Because [G#] [F#] a vision softly creeping
Left [Bm] its seeds while I [F#] was sleeping
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain
[A#m] [D#] Still remains [C#] within the sound [D#] of [D#m] silence
In restless dreams I walked [A#m]
alone
[C#] Narrow streets of [D#m]
