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

Nothing changed at all?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[Chorus]

But if you close your eyes,
G#
Does it almost feel like

Nothing changed at all?
