Most posted verions are WAY wrong. This is my second tab posting
in 11 years (when in 6th grade I submitted this:
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/misc/sounds-of-silence-3306.html
because of this same situation.)
This is my best guess:
Standard tuning, no capo.

Look around you, look up here.
take time to make time, make time to be there.
look around, be a part.
feel for the winter, but dont have a cold heart.

(this next part is mostly piano - but you can play the normal verse A-shape)
Look around, come to me.
I have no answers, but know where I wanna be.
I look around. Way apart.
I was born in the winter but cooled by a warm hart.

OUTTRO:
IF YOU GOT THIS FAR... YOU CAN MANAGE THE REST.
I HOPE IT'S ENOUGH TO LET YOU ROCK IT LIKE YOU SHOULD.
