[Intro]
D A F#m E 2x
[Verse]
D A F#m E
I was left to my own devices
D A F#m E
Many days fell away with nothing to show
[Pre-chorus]
D A
And the walls kept tumbling down
F#m E
In the city that we loved
D A
Great clouds roll over the hills
F#m E
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
D
But if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
Nothing changed at all?
D
And if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
You've been here before?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[Verse]
D A F#m E
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
D A F#m E
In your pose as the dust settles around us
[Pre-chorus]
D A
And the walls kept tumbling down
F#m E
In the city that we loved
D A
Great clouds roll over the hills
F#m E
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
D
But if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
Nothing changed at all?
D
And if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
You've been here before?
D A E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
D A E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[Interlude]
D A F#m E
[Bridge]
D A
Oh where do we begin?
F#m E
The rubble or our sins?
D A
Oh where do we begin?
F#m E
The rubble or our sins?
[Pre-chorus]
D A
And the walls kept tumbling down
F#m E
In the city that we loved
D A
Great clouds roll over the hills
F#m E
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
D
But if you close your eyes,
