For the intro and the outro, use a single strum of each chord or simply sing without playing the chords.
 
Playing this song with the Eadd11 (4440) sounds great and makes the transitions very easy. I use my middle,
ring, and pinky to play the G, C, and E strings, respectively, for the D chord and have my index finger
already on the first fret of the C string so I can transition to the A by just lifting my ring and pinky off
the strings. For the F#m just add the pinky back on the E string. Finally, slide up to the 4th fret and add
the ring finger back to the C string for the Eadd11.

[Verse 1]
D          A            F#m   Eadd11
I was left to my own devi-i-i-ices
D         A               F#m         Eadd11
Many days fell away with nothing to show
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         D                   A
And the walls kept tumbling down
                     F#m     Eadd11
In the city that we lo-o-o-o-ove
      D                       A
Great clouds rolled over the hills
                         F#m     Eadd11
Bringing darkness from abo-o-o-o-ove
 
[Chorus]
N.C.                  D
But if you close your eyes,
        A
Does it almost feel like
 F#m               Eadd11
Nothing changed at all?
                      D
And if you close your eyes,
        A
Does it almost feel like
F#m                 Eadd11
You've been here before?
    D                A          Eadd11
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
    D                A          Eadd11
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
 
[Verse 2]
D              A              F#m         Eadd11
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
D            A            F#m      Eadd11
In your pose as the dust settled around us
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         D                   A
And the walls kept tumbling down
                     F#m     Eadd11
In the city that we lo-o-o-o-ove
      D                       A
Great clouds rolled over the hills
                         F#m     Eadd11
Bringing darkness from abo-o-o-o-ove
 
[Chorus]
N.C.                  D
But if you close your eyes,
        A
Does it almost feel like

Nothing changed at all?
                      D
And if you close your eyes,
        A
Does it almost feel like
F#m                 Eadd11
You've been here before?
    D                A          Eadd11
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
    D                A          Eadd11

Oh-oh where do we begin?

The rubble or our sins?
   D                 A
Oh-oh where do we begin?
    F#m            Eadd11
The rubble or our sins?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         D                   A

Oh, how am I gonna be an optimist about this?
    D                A          Eadd11
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
                      D
If you close your eyes,

Does it almost feel like
