[Intro 1]
[C][G][Em][D]

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

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

[Verse 3]
But if you close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]al most feel like
[Em]nothing changed at [D]all?
And if you close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]al most feel like
you've [Em]been here before?

[Verse 4]
[D]How am I g[C]onna be an
[G]op timist [D]about this?
How am [C]I gonna be an [Em]op
timist about [D]this?

[Verse 5]
[C]We were caught [G]up [D]and lost
in [Em]all of [D]our vices
[C]In your pose [D]as the dust
[Em]settled all [D]around us

[Verse 6]
And the [C]walls kept tumbling down
[D]In the city that we lov[Em]e[D]
Great [C]clouds roll over the hill[D]s
Bringing darkness from [Em]above[D]

[Verse 7]
[D]But if you close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]al most feel like noth
[Em]ing changed at a[D]ll?
And if you close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]al most feel like
[Em]you've been here be[D]fore?

[Verse 8]
How am [C]I gonna be an [G]op
timist [D]about this?
How am [C]I gonna be an
[Em]optimist [D]about this?

[Verse 9]
[C]Oh, where do we [D]begin?
[G]The[Em] rubble or our sins?[D]
[C]Oh, where do [D]we begin?
[G]The[Em] rubble or [G]our sin[D]s?
Oh, [C]oh, where do we begin?
[G]The rub[Em]ble or our[D] sins?
[C]Oh, where do we be[G]gin?
[Em]The rubble or [D]our sins?

[Verse 10]
But if you close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]al most feel like
[Em]nothing changed at [D]all?
And if you close your [C]eyes
Does it [G]al most feel like
[Em]you've been here be[D]fore?

[Verse 11]
How am [C]I gonna be an op
[G]timist about [D]this?
How am I [C]gonna be an op
[Em]timist about [D]this?
How am [C]I gonna be an [Em]op
timist about [D]this?
How am [C]I gonna be an optimist about
[D]this?
