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, G 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.

VERSE 2:
Bm Vows are spoken, Dm To be broken. G Feelings are intense, G Words are trivial. Bm Pleasures remain, Dm So does the pain. G Words are meaningless, G And forgettable.

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. “…In 1990, a promotional video for "Enjoy the Silence" was shot by French TV (for the TV Show
"Champs-Élysées" 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. …”
