[Verse 1]

Am                        G
   Hello darkness, my old friend,
                           Am
I've come to talk with you again,
                     F       C
Because a vision softly creeping,
                       F       C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
        F                             C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
            C/B  Am
Still remains
C           G        Am
Within the sound of silence.

[Verse 2]
                        G
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
                   F        C
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
                          F        C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        F                                        C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
                    C/B  Am
That split the night
 C              G        Am
And touched the sound of silence.

[Verse 3]
                         G
And in the naked light I saw
                           Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
                   F       C
People talking without speaking,
                   F        C
People hearing without listening,
               F                       C
People writing songs that voices never share
              C/B  Am
And no one dare
C           G        Am
Disturb the sound of silence.

[Verse 4]
                         G
Fools said I, you do not know
                      Am
Silence like a cancer grows.
                     F           C
Hear my words that I might teach you,
                    F           C
Take my arms that I might reach you.
       F                           C   C/B Am 
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
   C
And echoed
       G        Am
In the wells of silence

[Verse 5]
                         G
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Am
To the neon God they made.
                         F      C
And the sign flashed out its warning,
                      F     C
In the words that it was forming.
                       F
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
                           C
Are written on the subway walls
             C     C/B Am
And tenement halls.
         C           G         Am
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

Primeira Parte:

     Am
Oh, life is bigger
Em
  It's bigger than you
             Am
And you are not me
                    Em
The lengths that I will go to
                     Am
The distance in your eyes
Em                   Dm
Oh, no I've said too much
         G
I set it up

                  Am
That's me in the corner
                   Em
That's me in the spot light
             Am
Losing my religion
           Em
Trying to keep up with you
       Am
And I don't know if I can do it
Em                      Dm
  Oh no, I've said too much
                 G
I haven't said enough


Refrão:

                            F
I thought that I heard you laughing
                            Am
I thought that I heard you sing
    F                         Am  G
I think I thought I saw you try


Repete a Primeira Parte:

        Am
Every whisper
                 Em
Of every waking hour
                    Am
I'm choosing my confessions
           Em
Trying to keep an eye on you
        Am
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Em                      Dm
  Oh, no I've said too much
         G
I set it up

           Am
Consider this, consider this
     Em
The hint of the century
           Am
Consider this
                Em
The slip that brought me

To my knees failed
  Am
What if all these fantasies
     Em
Come    flailing around
          Dm       G
Now I've said too much

Just a dream, just a dream, dream
