Intro: D A F#m E (2x) D A F#m E I was left to my own devices D A F#m E Many days fell away with nothing to show D A F#m E And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love E D A F#m E Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above D But if you close your eyes A F#m E Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? E D And if you close your eyes A F#m E Does it almost feel like you've been here before? D A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this? D A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this? D A F#m E We were caught up and lost in all of our vices D A F#m E In your pose as the dust settles around us D A A F#m E And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love D A F#m E Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above D But if you close your eyes A F#m E Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? E D And if you close your eyes A F#m E Does it almost feel like you've been here before? D A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this? D A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Interlude: D A F#m E Bridge: D A Oh where do we begin? F#m E The rubble or our sins? D A Oh, oh where do we begin? F#m E The rubble or our sins? D A F#m E And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love D A F#m E Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above D But if you close your eyes A F#m E Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? E D And if you close your eyes A F#m E Does it almost feel like you've been here before? D A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this? D A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
