C C Em Em G G D D
I was left to my own de--v-i-c-e-s
C C Em Em G G D D
Many days fell away with nothing to show


C C Em Em
And the walls kept tumbling down
G G D D
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
C C Em Em
Great clouds roll over the hills
G G D D
Bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


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


C C G G D D
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
C C G G D D
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?


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


C C Em Em
And the walls kept tumbling down
G G D D
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
C C Em Em
Great clouds roll over the hills
G G D D
Bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


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


C C G G D D
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
C C G G D D
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
