|Bm D | x6 VERSE 1: Bm Words like violence, Dm Break the silence. G Come crashing in, G Into my little world. Bm Painful to me, Dm Pierce right through me. G Can't you understand, Oh my little girl. CHORUS 1: Em All I ever wanted, G All I ever needed. Bm D/A Is here in my arms, Em G Words are very unnecessary, Bm Bb They can only do harm. INSTRUMENTAL 1: Keyboards, Drum Snares, followed by Lead Guitar: :: Riff #1 :: |Bm D | x4 VERSE 2: Bm Vows are spoken, Dm To be broken. Bm Feelings are intense, Dm Words are trivial. Bm Pleasures remain, Dm So does the pain. G Words are meaningless, And forgettable. CHORUS 2: Em All I ever wanted, G All I ever needed. Bm D/A Is here in my arms, Em G Words are very unnecessary, Bm Bb They can only do harm. INSTRUMENTAL 2: Keyboards, Drum Snares, followed by Lead Guitar: :: Riff #1 :: x3 |Bm D | x12 CHORUS 3: Em All I ever wanted, G All I ever needed. Bm D/A Is here in my arms, Em G Words are very unnecessary, Bm Bb They can only do harm. CHORUS 4: Em All I ever wanted, G All I ever needed. Bm D/A Is here in my arms, Em G Words are very unnecessary, Bm Bb They can only do harm. CODA: Lead Guitar: :: Riff #1 :: x3 |Bm D | x12 :: Riff #1 :: x3 Keyboard Horns, over: |Bm D | x12 End: NOTES. 1. Depeche Mode play this live in Cm. This interpretation is a simplification of the chords it includes a capo on 1 and the repetitive riff. 2. β€œβ€¦In 1990, a promotional video for "Enjoy the Silence" was shot by French TV (for the TV Show "Champs-Γ‰lysΓ©es" with Michel Drucker) featuring Depeche Mode lip-synching the song while standing atop the World Trade Center at the WTC rooftop World observatory, south Tower #2. …” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enjoy_the_Silence
