D          Gbm        A     E
I was left to my own devices
D         Gbm             A          E
Many days fell away with nothing to show


D                           Gbm
And the walls kept tumbling down
                    A   E
In the city that we loved
D                          Gbm
Great clouds roll over the hills
                       A  E
Bringing darkness from above


                      D
But if you close your eyes,
        Gbm
Does it almost feel like
A                  E
Nothing changed at all?
                      D
And if you close your eyes,
        Gbm
Does it almost feel like
A                E       
You've been here before?


D                    A        E
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

D              Gbm             A          E
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
D            Gbm          A              E
In your pose as the dust settles around us


D                           Gbm
And the walls kept tumbling down
                    A   E
In the city that we loved
D                          Gbm

Bringing darkness from above

D              A
Oh where do we begin?
Gbm                E
The rubble or our sins?
