Pompeii
Bastille
F C a G
I was left to my own devices
F C a G
Many days fell away with nothing to show
F C a G
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
F C a G
Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
F
But if you close your eyes
C
Does it almost feel like
a G
nothing changed at all?
F
And if you close your eyes
C
Does it almost feel like
a G
you've been here before?
F a G
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
F a G
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
F C a G
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
F C a G
In your pose as the dust settled around us
F C a G
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
F C a G
Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
F
But if you close your eyes
C
Does it almost feel like
a G
nothing changed at all?
F
And if you close your eyes
C
Does it almost feel like
a G
you've been here before?
F a G
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
F a G
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
