VERSE 1:

Words like vio

lence,

Break the sile

nce.

Come crashing 

in,

Into my little

 world.

Painful to me,

Pierce right t

hrough me.

Can't you unde

rstand,

Oh my little g

irl.


CHORUS 1:

All I ever wan

ted,

All I ever nee

ded.
            
Is here in my 


arms,
            
Words are very

 
 unnecessary,
            
They can only 

   
do harm.

VERSE 2:

Vows are spoke

n,

To be broken.

Feelings are i

ntense,

Words are triv

ial.

Pleasures rema

in,

So does the pa

in.

Words are mean

ingless,

And forgettabl

e.


CHORUS 2:

All I ever wan

ted,

All I ever nee

ded.
            
Is here in my 


arms,
            
Words are very

 
 unnecessary,
            
They can only 

   
do harm.

CHORUS 3:

All I ever wan

ted,

All I ever nee

arms,
            
Words are very

 
 unnecessary,
            
They can only 

   
do harm.


CHORUS 4:

All I ever wan

ted,

All I ever nee

ded.
            
Is here in my 


arms,

 unnecessary,
            
They can only 

   
do harm.

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. …”
