Capo 1

Riff #1: (on 3rd Bar)
| | x6
Words like violence,
Break the silence.
Come crashing in,
Into my little world.
Painful to me,
Pierce right through me.
Can't you understand,
Oh my little girl.
All I ever wanted,
All I ever needed.
Is here in my arms,
Words are very unnecessary,
They can only do harm.
INSTRUMENTAL 1:
:: Riff #1 ::
| | x4
Vows are spoken,
To be broken.
Feelings are intense,
Words are trivial.
Pleasures remain,
So does the pain.
Words are meaningless,
And forgettable.
All I ever wanted,
All I ever needed.
Is here in my arms,
Words are very unnecessary,
They can only do harm.
INSTRUMENTAL 2:
:: Riff #1 :: x3
| | x12
All I ever wanted,
All I ever needed.
Is here in my arms,
Words are very unnecessary,
They can only do harm.
All I ever wanted,
All I ever needed.
Is here in my arms,
Words are very unnecessary,
They can only do harm.

NOTES.
1. Depeche Mode play this live in . 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. ..."
