Verse

   Am                D               C      Am       D  Em
I know it's out of fashion, and a trifle uncool,     
    Am        D             C        Am      D    Em
But I can't help it, I'm a romantic fool. 
     Am           D                C      Am     D      Em
It's a habit of mine to watch the sun go down.    
    Am         D            C      Am      D     Em
On Echo Beach, I watch the sun go down.    

Chorus
 
     G                              D
From 9 to five I have to spend my time at work.
    G                          D
My job is very boring I'm an office clerk
     Am                               Em
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
     Am                                Em
Is knowing I'll be back in Echo Beach some day.

Verse

     Am             D                   C        Am     D     Em
On silent summer evenings, the sky's alive with light.    
    Am              D             C       Am     D    Em
A building in the distance, surrealistic sight.     
    Am           D             C     Am     D    Em
On Echo Beach, waves make the only sound.   
    Am           D            C      Am     D    Em
On Echo Beach, there's not a soul around.    

Chorus
 
     G                              D
From 9 to five I have to spend my time at work.
    G                           D
My job is very boring I'm an office clerk
     Am                                Em
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
    Am                                 Em
Is knowing I'll be back in Echo Beach some day.
