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

Nothing changed at all?
