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