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 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 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 A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this? Interlude: D Gbm A E D A Oh where do we begin? Gbm E The rubble or our sins? D A Oh where do we begin? Gbm E The rubble or our sins? 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 A E How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Guys if you’re on computer, look at the “How To Play E” book on this website, and it gives you great alternatives for it!
I think switching the middle two chords around sounds better and helps me get the pitch right.
If you have trouble playing the e chord try putting your pinky on first then putting your middle and index finger on idk why but it helps
nice song! i use DDUUDU
+3
+1 is really nice cause it suits my voice much better as well as sounding pretty similar to the original
Or you can play even easier with a repeating Am, F, G, C pattern. Different key, same song, and WAY simpler, belive me.
in the lyrics, it’s actually
“grey clouds”
not
“great clouds”
just trying to be helpful
これはとてもいいですねありがとう
Ellie–it’s actually “where do we begin? the rubble or our sins” 🙂
strum to the oh’s in the background
D-DU-DU
This is SCP-173’s theme.
All jokes aside this is a good tab.
D DDUUDD UDU sounds nice for an intro I’ve tried to make it work for the song but I think it’s too long just a simple DDUUDU will work for the song
-2 dudes
A good alternative for E is the g and c strings on the fourth fret, e is open, and a is the second fret
The E chord really sucks hahah
-2 was really easy.. there’s something a little bit off about that Em though, but it sounds good.
Great tab! I use DDUUDU and switch the A and Gbm for the choruses and it sounds better in my opinion. I also like to so a single downstrum on the last E before the chorus to make it stand out more 🙂
+3 is really good for higher voices
