Intro/Solos: C Am Em G

                    C                     Am
     Put down your things and rest awhile
                     Em                 G
     You know we've both nowhere to go
     Yeah, daddy had to crash
     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   C/B Em             F    G
     The same sad echo when you walk
                C   C/B Em             F              G
     Yeah, the same sad echo when you talk loud and clear
                F                   G            C  Am Em G
     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
