[Intro]
C  G  Em  D (x2)


[Verse 1]
C          G         Em          D
I was left to my own de-v-i-c-e-s
 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 l-o-v-e-d
        C                   G
Great clouds roll over the hills
                       Em      D
Bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


[Chorus]
N.C.                   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?


[Verse 2]
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 l-o-v-e-d
        C                   G
Great clouds roll over the hills
                       Em      D
Bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


[Chorus]
N.C.                   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?


[Instrumental]
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 l-o-v-e-d
        C                   G
Great clouds roll over the hills
                       Em      D
Bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


[Chorus]
N.C.                   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?
                       C
But if you close your eyes,
         G
Does it almost feel like
Em                  D
Nothing changed at all?

C   G   Em   D (x2)
