The Echo

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
