Tom: A [Intro] D A F#m E 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 And the walls kept tumbling down F#m E In the city that we love D A Grey clouds roll over the hills F#m E Bringing darkness from above D But if you close your eyes A Does it almost feel like F#m E Nothing changed at all? D And if you close your eyes A Does it almost feel like F#m E 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 And the walls kept tumbling down F#m E In the city that we love D A Grey clouds roll over the hills F#m E Bringing darkness from above D But if you close your eyes A Does it almost feel like F#m E Nothing changed at all? D And if you close your eyes A Does it almost feel like F#m E 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 ) D A Oh where do we begin? F#m E The rubble or our sins? D A Oh where do we begin? F#m E The rubble or our sins? D A And the walls kept tumbling down F#m E In the city that we love D A Grey clouds roll over the hills F#m E Bringing darkness from above D But if you close your eyes A Does it almost feel like F#m E Nothing changed at all? D And if you close your eyes A Does it almost feel like F#m E 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 If you close your eyes A Does it almost feel like F#m E Nothing changed at all? ( D A F#m E ) ( D A F#m E )
