 that although ive said the 3rd chord in the progression is  and this is how I
 play it, sometimes it looks as though the guitar is playing a normal  though its
 still sung as if over a minor. :) Enjoy
 Verse and Chorus are the same
 I  was left to  my own devices
 Many days fell away with nothing to show
 And the walls kept tumbling down In the city we love
 Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
 But if you close your eyes,
 Does it almost feels like
 Nothing changed at all.
 And if you close your eyes,
 Does it almost feels like
 You've been here before?
 How  am I gonna be an optimist  about this?
 How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
 We  were caught up  and lost in  all of our vices
 In your pose as the dust settles around us
 And the walls kept tumbling down
 In the city we love
 Great clouds roll over the hills
 Bringing darkness from above
 But if you close your eyes
 Does  it almost  feels  like
 Nothing changed at all?
 And if you close your eyes,
 Does it almost feels like
 You've been here before?
 How  am I gonna  be  an optimist  about this
 If you close your eyes
 Middle 8 is the same as verse
 Oh  where do  we begin, The  rubble or our  sins?
 Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
 Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
 Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
 And the walls kept tumbling down
 In the city we love
 Great clouds roll over the hills
 Bringing darkness from above
 But if you close your eyes,
 Does it almost feels like
 Nothing changed at all,
 And if you close your eyes,
 Does it almost feels like
 You've been here before?
 How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
