was [A] left to my [F#m] own device [A] [E] [D] Many [A] days fell away [F#m] with nothing [A] to [E] show
[D] And the walls kept [A] tumbling down The [F#m] city that we [E] love
[D] Great clouds all over [A] the hill Bringing [F#m] darkness from above
[E] But if you [D] close your eyes [A] Does it almost feel [F#m] like
Nothing's changed [E] at all?
And if you [D] close your eyes
[A] Does it almost feel [F#m] like You'll be near [E] before?
[D] How am I gonna [A] be an optimist [E] about this?
[D] How am I gonna be an [A] [E] optimist about this?
[D] We were [A] caught up and [G#] lost [F#m] in all of [E] our vices
[D] In your [A] pose as the [F#m] dust settled [Am] [E] around us
[D] And the walls kept tumbling [A] down The city [F#m] that we love

[F#m] The rubble or [A] our [E] sins?
Oh, [D] where do we [A] begin?

if you close [D] your eyes Does [A] it almost feel like
