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