🎶 Smoke & Mirrors

(Intro)
[Eb] [Em] [B#]
==

(Verse 1)
[Eb]Standing on the front lines
[Em]Staring at the sun rise [B#]over the hills
[F#]Waiting for the kill
[Eb]Sweet anticipation, [Em]never conversation
[B#]Tears in our eyes from holding too tight

(Pre-Chorus)
[Eb]Waiting till the demons come
Wait for us to [Em]see them run in our [B#]direction
Now they're [Eb]staring at us through the trees
Got us falling [Em]to our knees to teach us a [B#]lesson

(Chorus)
[Eb]So tell me
Did you ever really [Eb]love me?
Did you ever really [B#]want me?
Now that I see you [B#]clearer
I [Eb]wonder, was I ever really [Em]happy?
Didn't get the chance to [B#]ask me
Now that I see you [B#]clearer
Was it just smoke and [Eb]mirrors? [Em]
Was it just smoke and [B#]mirrors?

(Verse 2)
[Eb]Holding onto tables, [Em]pulling out the staples
[B#]Keeping you close, now [F#]we're not afloat
Point me [Eb]in the right direction, [Em]answer me one question
'Cause [F#]I could've sworn that I wasn't [B#]wrong

(Pre-Chorus)
[Eb]Waiting till the demons come
Wait for us to [Em]see them run in our [B#]direction
Now they're [Eb]staring at us through the trees
Got us falling [Em]to our knees to teach us a [B#]lesson

(Chorus)
[Eb]So tell me
Did you ever really [Eb]love me?
Did you ever really [B#]want me?
Now that I see you [B#]clearer
I [Eb]wonder, was I ever really [Em]happy?
Didn't get the chance to [B#]ask me
Now that I see you [B#]clearer
Was it just smoke and [Eb]mirrors? [Em]
Was it just smoke and [B#]mirrors?

(Bridge)
Darling, [F#]I have been afraid
I could only call your name
Thank the [B#]heavens that you [Eb]stayed
But if I'm [F#]telling you the truth
When I cut the tether loose
[B#]It was me, saving you

(Chorus)
[Eb]So tell me
Did you ever really [Eb]love me?
Did you ever really [B#]want me?
Now that I see you [B#]clearer
I [Eb]wonder, was I ever really [Em]happy?
Didn't get the chance to [B#]ask me
Now that I see you [B#]clearer
Was it just smoke and [Eb]mirrors? [Em]
Was it just smoke and [B#]mirrors?⠀⠀
