Bastille - Pompeii

[Intro]

C  G  Em  D (x2)


[Verse 1]

C          G         Em          D
I was left to my own de-v-i-c-e-s
C         G              Em         D
Many days fell away with nothing to show


[Pre-chorus]

C                           G
and the walls kept tumbling down
                   Em       D
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
C                          G
great clouds roll over the hills
                       Em      D
bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


[chorus]

                      C
but if you close your eyes,
        G
does it almost feel like
Em                 D
Nothing changed at all?
                      C
and if you close your eyes,
        G
does it almost feel like
Em                D       
You've been here before?
C                    G         D
how am I gonna be an optimist about this?
C                    G          D
how am I gonna be an optimist about this?


[Verse 2]

C              G              Em         D
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
C            G           Em             D
In your pose as the dust settles around us


[Pre-chorus]

C                           G
and the walls kept tumbling down
                    Em      D
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
C                          G
great clouds roll over the hills
                       Em      D
bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


[chorus]

                      C
but if you close your eyes,
        G
does it almost feel like
Em                 D
Nothing changed at all?
                      C
and if you close your eyes,
        G
does it almost feel like
Em                D       
You've been here before?


C                    G         D
how am I gonna be an optimist about this?
C                    G         D
how am I gonna be an optimist about this?


[Instrumental]

C   G   Em   D


[bridge]

C              G
Oh where do we begin?
Em                D
The rubble or our sins?
C              G
Oh where do we begin?
Em                D
The rubble or our sins?


[Pre-chorus]

C                           G
and the walls kept tumbling down
                    Em      D
In the city that we l-o-v-e-d
C                          G
great clouds roll over the hills
                       Em       D
bringing darkness from a-b-o-v-e


[chorus]

                     C
but if you close your eyes,
        G
does it almost feel like
Em                  D
Nothing changed at all?
                      C
and if you close your eyes,
        G
does it almost feel like
Em               D       
You've been here before?
C                    G          D
how am I gonna be an optimist about this?
C                    G          D
how am I gonna be an optimist about this?

                      C
but if you close your eyes,
        G
does it almost feel like
Em                  D
Nothing changed at all?
