(Intro)
[Dm] [F] [Bb]
(Verse 1)
[Dm]Standing on the front lines
[F]Staring at the sun rise [Bb]over the hills
[Gm]Waiting for the kill
[Dm]Sweet anticipation, [F]never conversation
[Bb]Tears in our eyes from holding too tight
(Pre-Chorus)
[Dm]Waiting till the demons come
Wait for us to [F]see them run in our [Bb]direction
Now they're [Dm]staring at us through the trees
Got us falling [F]to our knees to teach us a [Bb]lesson
(Chorus)
[Dm]So tell me
Did you ever really [Dm]love me?
Did you ever really [Bb]want me?
Now that I see you [Bb]clearer
I [Dm]wonder, was I ever really [F]happy?
Didn't get the chance to [Bb]ask me
Now that I see you [Bb]clearer
Was it just smoke and [Dm]mirrors? [F]
Was it just smoke and [Bb]mirrors?
(Verse 2)
[Dm]Holding onto tables, [F]pulling out the staples
[Bb]Keeping you close, now [Gm]we're not afloat
Point me [Dm]in the right direction, [F]answer me one question
'Cause [Gm]I could've sworn that I wasn't [Bb]wrong
(Pre-Chorus)
[Dm]Waiting till the demons come
Wait for us to [F]see them run in our [Bb]direction
Now they're [Dm]staring at us through the trees
Got us falling [F]to our knees to teach us a [Bb]lesson
(Chorus)
[Dm]So tell me
Did you ever really [Dm]love me?
Did you ever really [Bb]want me?
Now that I see you [Bb]clearer
I [Dm]wonder, was I ever really [F]happy?
Didn't get the chance to [Bb]ask me
Now that I see you [Bb]clearer
Was it just smoke and [Dm]mirrors? [F]
Was it just smoke and [Bb]mirrors?
(Bridge)
Darling, [Gm]I have been afraid
I could only call your name
Thank the [Bb]heavens that you [Dm]stayed
But if I'm [Gm]telling you the truth
When I cut the tether loose
[Bb]It was me, saving you
(Chorus)
[Dm]So tell me
Did you ever really [Dm]love me?
Did you ever really [Bb]want me?
Now that I see you [Bb]clearer
I [Dm]wonder, was I ever really [F]happy?
Didn't get the chance to [Bb]ask me
Now that I see you [Bb]clearer
Was it just smoke and [Dm]mirrors? [F]
Was it just smoke and [Bb]mirrors?
