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