[Intro]
       (x2)


[Verse 1]
            
I was left to 

            
my own de-v-i-

     
c-e-s
            
Many days fell

            
 away with not

         
hing to show


[Pre-Chorus]
             
And the walls 

              
kept tumbling 

 
down
              
In the city th

            
at we l-o-v-e-


d
             
Great clouds r

              
oll over the h


ills
              
Bringing darkn

            
ess from a-b-o

   
-v-e


[Chorus]
          
But if you clo

         
se your eyes,
         
Does it almost

 feel like
            
Nothing change

     
d at all?
              
And if you clo

         
se your eyes,
         
Does it almost

 feel like
            
You've been he

      
re before?
             
How am I gonna

             
 be an optimis

    
t about this?
             
How am I gonna

             
 be an optimis

    
t about this?


[Verse 2]
             
We were caught

             
 up and lost i

            
n all of our v


ices
            
In your pose a

            
s the dust set

        
tles around us


[Pre-Chorus]
             
And the walls 

              
kept tumbling 

 
down
              
In the city th

            
at we l-o-v-e-


d
             
Great clouds r

              
oll over the h


ills
              
Bringing darkn

            
ess from a-b-o

   
-v-e


[Chorus]
          
But if you clo

         
se your eyes,
         
Does it almost

 feel like
            
Nothing change

And if you clo

         
se your eyes,
         
Does it almost

 feel like
            
You've been he

[Instrumental]
         


[Bridge]
             
Oh where do we

    
 begin?
            
The rubble or 

     
our sins?
             
Oh where do we

    
 begin?
            
The rubble or 

     
our sins?


[Pre-Chorus]
             
And the walls 

              
kept tumbling 

 
down
              
In the city th

But if you clo

How am I gonna

             
 be an optimis

    
t about this?
              
If you close y

    
our eyes,
         
Does it almost

Nothing change

      
d at all?
