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

[Bridge]
G D
Oh where do we begin?
Bm A
The rubble or our sins?
G D
Oh where do we begin?
Bm A
The rubble or our sins?
[Pre-chorus]
G D
And the walls kept tumbling down
Bm A
In the city that we loved
G D
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bm A
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
