[Intro]
F#m
Hello darkness, my oldE friend
[Verse 1]
I've come to talk with youF#m again
Because a vision softlyD creeAping
Left its seeds while I wasD sleeAping
And the Dvision that was planted in my Abrain
StillF#m remains within the Esound of F#msilence
In restless dreams I walked aElone
[Verse 2]
Narrow streets of cobbleF#mstone
'Neath the halo of aD street Alamp
I turned my collar to the Dcold and Adamp
When my Deyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light A
That splitF#m the nightA and touched the Esound of F#msilence
And Ein the Anaked F#mlight IE saw
[Verse 3]
Ten thousand people, maybeF#m more
People talking withoutD speaAking
People hearing withoutD liAstening
People writing Dsongs that voices never shared A
And no oneF#m daredA F#m diAsturb the Esound of F#msilence
"Fools", said I, "You do notE know
[Verse 4]
Silence like a cancerF#m grows
Hear my words that I mightD teach Ayou
Take my arms that I mightD reach Ayou"
But myD words like silent raindrops fell A
F#m And Aechoed in the Ewells of F#msilence
And the people bowed andE prayed
[Verse 5]
To the neon GodF#m they made
And the sign flashed out itsD warAning
In the words that it wasD forAming
And the sign said "The Dwords of the prophets are written on the subway walls A
And tenementF#m halls"A and F#mwhispered in the Esound of silence
[Outro]
