I was left,to my own devi......ices .....
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
(D)
But if you close your eyes,
(A)
Does it almost feel like
(F#M) (E)
Nothing changed at all?
(D)
And if you close your eyes,
(A)
Does it almost feel like
(F#M) (E)
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

[Verse 2]
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bastille/pompeii_crd_ver_7.html ]
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 that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
(D)
But if you close your eyes,
(A)
Does it almost feel like
(F#M) (E)
Nothing changed at all?
(D)
And if you close your eyes,
(A)
Does it almost feel like
(F#M) (E)
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
