Pompeii

	 
[Intro]
C  G  Em  D (x2)
[Strophe]
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-Refrain]
         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
[Refrain]
N.C.                   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?
[Strophe]
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-Refrain]
         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
[Refrain]
N.C.                   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?
[Instrumentale]
C   G   Em   D
[Pont]
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-Refrain]

And the walls kept tumbling down 
                   Em       D

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Nothing changed at all?
