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

But if you close your eyes,
