[G]

 

[G]For you, I'll sing this song

[G]Please stay, it won't last long

[G]Years after we are long gone

[G]The meaning will stay strong

 

[G]Silence is what this song's about

[G]Numb to the world all around

[G]But I will sing of this place

[G]Hoping it finds you some way

 

[C]People needing to be saved

[G/B]Scream out for help every day

[Am7]But we grow numb to the sounds

[G/B]And feelings slowly start to drown

 

[C]The first time, we can hear a voice

[G/B]But soon it all becomes noise

[Am7]Fading to silence in the end

[G]I know it [G/B]doesn't make sense...

 

[G]When sound all ceases to exist

[G]People think that means happiness

[G]And all the sounds that used to be

[G]Are all just noise to you and me

 

[G]The cries of help disappear

[G]The silence numbs all of our ears

[Am7]And when we [Bm7]stop listening

[Cm7]Those screams [D]stop meaning [B7]anything[Em]　[E]

 

[G]Don't you [D/F#]let your [Em]heart grow [Bm7]numb to[C]everyone

Oh [G]child, [C]listen to the "[D]sound of silence"

[G]Saving [D/F#]someone [Em]else means [Bm7]saving your[C]self

It's [G]true, [C]and I'm sure you [D]know it too

 

[C]When you hear an "SOS"

[G/B]Answering it becomes a test

[Am7]It can give the life you lead

[G/B]A meaning that you'd never seen

 

[C]So don't resist a call for help

[G/B]Cause in the end it will tell you

[Am7]How to treasure yourself

[G]And not be alone

 

[G]It might seem a little strange

[G]To share this song this way

[G]But I know what I must do

[G]Is share the meaning with you

 

[G]All this I learned from someone

[G]Who spent his life among

[Am7]People [Bm7]screaming out for help

[Cm7]Doing [D]everything to [Em]reach out

 

[G]Don't you [D/F#]let your [Em]heart grow [Bm7]numb to[C]everyone

Oh [G]child, [C]listen to the "[D]sound of silence"

[G]Saving [D/F#]someone [Em]else means [Bm7]saving your[C]self

It's [G]true, [C]and I'm sure you [D]know it too

[N.C]

 

[G]　[D/F#]　[Em]　[Bm7]

[C]　[G]　[C]　[D]

[G]　[D/F#]　[Em]　[Bm7]

[C]　[G]　[C]　[D]

 

[G]Don't you [D/F#]let your [Em]heart grow [Bm7]numb to[C]everyone

Oh [G]child, [C]listen to the "[D]sound of silence"

[G]Saving [D/F#]someone [Em]else means [Bm7]saving your[C]self

It's [G]true, [C]and I'm sure you [D]know it too

 

[G]Now I'd [D/F#]like to [Em]thank you [Bm7]for staying by my [C]side...

[G]　[C]　[D]
