[Verse 1] (Picked)
EmHello darkness, my D/Aold friend
I've come to talk with you Emagain
Because a vision sCoftly cGreeping
Left its sEmeeds while CI was slGeeping
EmAnd the Cvision that was Csus2planted Cin my Gbrain
Still Emremains within the D/Asound of Emsilence
[Verse 2] (Picked)
EmIn restless dreams I walked D/Aalone
Narrow streets of Emcobblestone Em

Em 'Neath the halo of Ca street Glamp I turned my cEmollar to the Ccold and Gdamp When my Ceyes were stabbed by the Csus2flash of Ca neon Glight That Emsplit the Gnight EmAnd touched the D/Asound of EmsilenceEmAnd in the naked D/Alight I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe Emmore Em

Em People talking wCithout sGpeaking People Emhearing witChout lisGtening People writing Csongs that Csus2voices Cnever Gshare And no one Emdare Disturb the D/Asound of siEmlenceEmFools said I, you do not D/Aknow
Silence like a cancer Emgrows Em

Em Hear my words that I mCight teach Gyou Take my Emarms that I mCight reach to Gyou But my Cwords like Csus2silent Craindrops Gfell EmAnd echoed in the D/Awells of EmsilenceEmAnd the people bowed and D/Aprayed
To the neon God they Emmade Em
And the sign said

Em And the sign flashed Cout it's warnGing And the Emwords that it Cwas formGingThe wCords of the prophets are Csus2written on the Csubway wGalls
And tenement halEmls
And whispered in the D/Asound of sileEmnce (Pick the last chord)
