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
If you close your eyes,

         G
Does it almost feel like

Em                  D
Nothing changed at all?
[Outro] C G Em D (x2)
