Pompeii - Bastille

 D  A  F#m  E

 D     A         F#m  E
 I was left to my own devices
 D       A         F#m    E
 Many days fell away with nothing to show
        D             A
 And the walls kept tumbling down
              F#m  E
 In the city that we love
      D            A
 Great clouds roll over the hills
                   F#m  E
 Bringing darkness from above
                 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?

 D           A        F#m  E
 We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
 D        A      F#m   E
 In your pose as the dust settles around us
       D             A
 And the walls kept tumbling down
              F#m  E
 In the city that we love
      D            A
 Great clouds roll over the hills
                     F#m  E
 Bringing darkness from above
                 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

 D             A
 Oh where do we begin?
    F#m       E
 The rubble or our sins?
