D-A-F#m-E X2
[Verse 1]
D A F#m E
I was left to my own de--v-i-c-e-s
D A F#m E
Many days fell away with nothing to show
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
And the walls kept tumbling down
F#m E
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
D A
Great clouds roll over the hills
F#m E
Bringing darkness from A-B-o-v-E
[Chorus]
D
But if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
Nothing changed at all?
D
And if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
You've been here before?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[Verse 2]
D A F#m E
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
D A F#m E
In your pose as the dust settles around us
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
And the walls kept tumbling down
F#m E
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
D A
Great clouds roll over the hills
F#m E
Bringing darkness from A-B-o-v-E
[Chorus]
D
But if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
Nothing changed at all?
D
And if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
You've been here before?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
[Instrumental]
D-A-F#m-E (x2)
[Bridge]
D F#m
Oh where do we begin?
A E
The rubble or our sins?
D F#m
Oh where do we begin?
A E
The rubble or our sins?
[Pre-Chorus]
D A
And the walls kept tumbling down
F#m E
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
D A
Great clouds roll over the hills
F#m E
Bringing darkness from A-B-o-v-E
[Chorus]
D
But if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
Nothing changed at all?
D
And if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
You've been here before?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
D F#m E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
D
But if you close your eyes,
A
Does it almost feel like
F#m E
Nothing changed at all?
[Outro]
