[Verse 1]
[C]I was left to [G]my own dev[Em]ices[D]
[C]Many days [G]fell away
[Em]with nothing [D]to show

[Verse 2]
And the [C]walls kept tumbling down
[G]In the city that we lov[Em]e[D]
Great [C]clouds roll over the hill[G]s
Bringing darkness from [Em]above
[D]

[Verse 3]
But if you close your [C]eyes
Does it al[G]most feel like
Noth[Em]ing changed at all?
[D]And if you close your [C]eyes
Does it al[G]most feel like
[Em]You've been here before?
[D]How am [C]I gonna be an
[G]op timist [D]about this?
How [C]am I gonna be an [G]op
timist [D]about this?

[Verse 4]
[C]We were caught [G]up and lost
in [Em]all of [D]our vices
[C]In your pose [G]as the dust
[Em]settled [D]around us

[Verse 5]
And the [C]walls kept tumbling down
[G]In the city that we lov[Em]e[D]
Great [C]clouds roll over the [G]hills
Bringing darkness from [Em]above
[D]

[Verse 6]
But if you close your [C]eyes
Does it al[G]most feel like
Noth[Em]ing changed at all?
[D]And if you close your eye[C]s
Does it [G]al most feel like
You've [Em]been here before?
[D]How am [C]I gonna be an
[G]op timist [D]about this?
How [C]am I gonna be
[G]an optim[D]ist about this?

[Verse 7]
Oh, [C]where do we begin?
[G]The[Em] rubble or our sins?[D]
Oh, [C]oh, where do we begin?
[G]The rub[Em]ble or our sins?
[D]

[Verse 8]
[C]And the walls came tumbling down
[G]In the city that we lov[Em]e[D]
Great [C]clouds roll over the hill[G]s
Bringing darkness from [Em]above[D]

[Verse 9]
Close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]al most feel like
Noth[Em]ing changed at all?
[D]And if you close your eye[C]s
Does it [G]al most feel like
[Em]You've been here before?
[D]How am [C]I gonna be an op[G]
timist [D]about this?
[C]How am I gonna be an [G]optimist
[D]about this?

[Verse 10]
If you close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]almost feel like [Em]nothing changed at all?
