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 

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 

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? 

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 

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) 

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? 

         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 

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?
