[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Hello _ [Ebm] darkness my [Gb] old _ friend _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Don't stop me [Abm] _ here
_ _ Because _ _ _ _ a vision [E] softly _ _ [B] creeping _ _
Left _ _ _ _ _ _ its seeds while I [E] _ was [B] sleeping _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] And the vision _ _ _ [Gb] that [E] was _ planted in me
[B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Still _ remains [Abm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ within [Gb] the _ _ _ silence
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
In _ _ _ _ [Ebm] restless _ dreams I [Gb] walked alone _
_ In _ _ _ _ narrow streets of [Abm] _ cobblestone _
_ _ Near _ _ _ the halo [E] of a street [B] _ lamp _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I turned back over to the [E] _ cold [B] and _ damp
_ _ When [E] my eyes were stared [Gb] by [E] the flash of a _ neon
[B] _ _ _ _
_ That split the night [Abm] _ _ _ [B] _ and _ [Gb] touched the _ sound _ _
[Abm] Of silence _ _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _

[Gb] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ in the naked [Gb]
light I saw
_ _ Ten _ _ _ thousand people [Abm] maybe _ _ more _ _ _
People _ _ _ talking _
[E] without _ [B] speaking _ _ _
_ People _ _ _ _ _ _ hearing _ [E] without _ [B] _
listening _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ People _ writing [E] _ _ _ voices _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ never [B] _
_ _ shared
_ _ And no one _ [Abm] dared _ _ [B] _
_ _ disturb [Gb] the _ sound _ _ of [Abm] _ silence
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Fool said I you [Gb] do not _ know _ _ _ _ _ _
Silence like _ [Abm] _ cancer _ _ grows
_ _ _ Hear my [B] words [E] that I might [B]
teach you _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Take my arms that [E] I might reach out [B] to you
_ But [E] my _ _ _ [B] words _ [E] like _ silent _ _ [B] raindrops fell _
_ _ _ _ _ And _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ echoed in [Gb] the _ wells of _
[Abm] _ _ silence
_ _ And _ _ _ _ the people [Gb] bowed and _ prayed _ _ _
To _ _ the neon [Abm] god _ they _ made _ _
_ _ And the sun [E]
flashed its [B] warning _ _ _
In _ _ _ _ _ the words that [E] it _ was [B]
forming
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Said the _ words of the [B] prophets
[E] I read it on [B] the [E] subway _
[B] _ wall
_ In the tenement halls
[Abm] _ _ _ And [B] _ _ whispered in [Gb] the _ sound _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] of _ _ silence _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
