Intro: C Am Em G

C Am

Put down your things and rest awhile

Em G

You know we've both nowhere to go

C Am

Yeah, daddy had to crash

Em G

He was always halfway there you know

F G

And no, I don't pretend there's any more of that

F G

They say one day, you'll look up and laugh and hear

C Am F G

The same sad echo when you walk

C Am F G

Yeah, the same sad echo when you talk loud and clear

F G C

It's the same as the same sad echo around here

I promise you this winter

I will worship you like gold

And ride your train forever

Electric fortunes to be told

And I don't want to question or even celebrate

All the joy you took and then gave back too late

It's the same sad echo when you lie

It's the same sad echo when you try to be clear

It's the same as the same sad echo around here

Well, I woke up right here

In a pool of sweat

With a box of pills and you

Yeah, and I'm gonna keep my head

I'm gonna keep my cool

Oh, I'm so in love with you

Yes and in another world nothing was like this

There may have been a girl

There never was a kiss

The poison came in liquid

She was naked all the time

And no one could explain it

It was all between the lines

And I don't seem to trust anyone no more

It could be faith I'm just not sure

It's the same sad echo every day

Yeah the same sad echo another way

When you call

It's the same as the same sad echo most of all

Well you just got tired

You just gave in

You took it hard

Then you just quit

You let me down

You dropped the ball

You fell on your face most of all

And I don't want to mean anything to you

I don't want to tempt you to be true

It's the same sad echo comin' down

It's the same sad echo all around in my ears

It's the same as the same sad echo around here
