(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?
