The Echo
By: Bleu Edmondson
Capo 2
Intro:
Em G D Em (X2)
Em
The sinners and the saints and the suicide girls
Em
Passion into darkness and the pawnshop pearls
D Em
One place, one time, one love, we owned the night
Em
And the tender souls wondered where the faith had all gone
G
And the neon on Lamar came rumbling on
D Em
We swore they wouldn't take us down without a fight
Cadd9 D
Hopeless hearted hunters waging war on the stars
G Cadd9
We cheered the revolution from a rooftop bar
Cadd9 D G
And swore to one another only we could make it right
Chorus:
G D Em
We said maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
G D Em G
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
Verse 2:
Em
I remember your kiss like TNT
Em
How it rattled every long gone part of me
D Em
And in the heat of the night you shook when you said my name
Em
And the precious drop of sweat running down your back
Like a southbound train burning down the tracks
G Em
Two martyrs in a world that would never be the same
Cadd9 D
Among the midnight runners and the teenage stunners
G Cadd9
We were searching for the light of day
Cadd9
We hoped against hope we could find one voice
D G
To sing what we were desperate to say
Chorus:
G D Em
We said maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
G D Em G
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
G D Em
We said maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
G D Em G
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight, maybe tonight we can
Horn Solo
Em
And the tears running down your face
D
Like a sad broken prophet's parade
G
While this dirty city sleeps tonight
D
To the guttered serenade
Em
Underneath that holy streetlight
D
We can take it all back again
Cadd9 G
And its the echo of the wounded heart in the night
D G
That proves we were born to win
