intro:
F F C C Am Am G G

F F F F C C Am Am G G
I was left to my own devices
F F C C Am Am G G
Many days fell away with nothing to show

F F C C
And the walls kept tumbling down
Am Am G G
In the city that we love
F F C C
Great clouds roll over the hills
Am Am G G
Bringing darkness from above

F F
But if you close your eyes
C C
Does it almost feel like
Am Am G G
Nothing changed at all
F F
And if you close your eyes
C C
Does it almost feel like
Am Am G G
You've been here before

F F C C
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
Am Am G G
How am I gonna be an optimist about this

F F C C Am Am G G
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
F F C C Am Am G G
In your pose as the dust settles around us


F F C C
And the walls kept tumbling down
Am Am G G
In the city that we love
F F C C
Great clouds roll over the hills
Am Am G G
Bringing darkness from above


F F
But if you close your eyes
C C
Does it almost feel like
Am Am G G
Nothing changed at all
F F
And if you close your eyes
C C
Does it almost feel like
Am Am G G
You've been here before
F F C C
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
Am Am G G
How am I gonna be an optimist about this

F F C C
Oh where do we begin
Am Am G G
The rubble or our sins
F F C C
Oh where do we begin
Am Am G G
The rubble or our sins

F F C C
And the walls kept tumbling down
Am Am G G
In the city that we love
F F C C
Great clouds roll over the hills
Am Am G G
Bringing darkness from above

F F
But if you close your eyes
C C
Does it almost feel like
Am Am G G
Nothing changed at all
F F
And if you close your eyes
C C
Does it almost feel like
Am Am G G
You've been here before
F F C C
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
Am Am G G
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
F F
But if you close your eyes
C C
Does it almost feel like
Am Am G G
Nothing changed at all
