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