VERSE 1:
I
[Cm] know it's out of fashion,
[F] and a
[D#] trifle
[Cm] uncool
[F] [Gm]
But
[Cm] I can't help it,
[F] I'm a
[D#] romantic
[Cm] fool
[F] [Gm]
It's a
[Cm] habit of mine
[F] to watch the
[D#] sun go
[Cm] down
[F] [Gm]
On
[Cm] Echo Beach,
[F] I watch the
[D#] sun go
[Cm] down
[F] [Gm]
CHORUS:
From
[A#] 9 to five I have to spend my
[F] time at work
My
[A#] job is very boring I'm an
[F] office clerk
The
[Cm] only thing that helps me pass the
[Gm] time away
Is
[Cm] knowing I'll be back in Echo
[Gm] Beach some day
BREAK:
[G#] [A#] //
[Cm] [A#] [Gm] [G#] [A#]

VERSE 2:
On
[Cm] silent summer evenings,
[F] the sky's
[D#] alive with
[Cm] light
[F] [Gm]
A
[Cm] building in the distance :
[F] surreal
[D#] istic
[Cm] sight
[F] [Gm]
On
[Cm] Echo Beach,
[F] waves make the
[D#] only
[Cm] sound
[F] [Gm]
On
[Cm] Echo Beach,
[F] there's not a
[D#] soul a
[Cm] round
[F] [Gm]
