   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
