PART I: ECHO
------------

Gm11                 Dm
  Did I ask you to call me darlin?

       Bb         F        C
Got no time for a better end

E         A           D         G
  I could come around Thursday, maybe

      Bb                F               C
But I know you're gonna be with your friends

Gm                      Dm       C              F
  Cuz everyday's like a roof top catching the sun

       C/E        D7
And if no one is watching

          Gm        F      C
Does our love leave any trace?

        Gm    F       C
Just an echo out in space

       Gm11                     F   Dm    Bb  F/A  G7
Yeahhhh

C  F  Bb       A7         D

NEXT VERSE (follows same pattern):

If you knew what a fool I've been
You'd strike a match for every day that's been lost
What I wouldn't give to see you make a living
Breaking even or just counting the cost
Cuz everyday's like a newborn still as the sun
And if no one is watching
Does our love leave any trace?
Just an echo out in space
Just a broke down empty place
Yeah....(linger on Gm11 till song breaks down)

------------------
PART II: ALWAYS ON
------------------

Take some acid, clang on a wind chime and re-route the mic
through a dying crab, back through itself again, then out
through an old shoe to get that "oaky timbre"
[acid optional]

------------------
PART III: EASY CON
------------------

Swell the volume on each one of these notes:

e|---------------12---------------------------------------------------|
B|-15------13h15----13---------12-----12-13--------15-----------------|
G|---------------------14-----------14------14------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-19-19-19p17--19-17----------------------------------------|
B|--------------------17--17-17h18-18-18h20-17-17------------|
G|------------------------------------------------17-17--17--|
