Dm
Standing on the front lines
  F                     A#maj7
Staring at the sun rise over the hills
A#maj7
Waiting for the kill
 Dm                  F
Sweet anticipation, never conversation
A#maj7
Tears in our eyes from holding too tight

Dm
Waiting 'til the demons come
                F                    A#maj7
Wait for us to see them run in our direction
             Dm
Now they're staring at us through the trees
                F                         A#maj7
Got us falling to our knees to teach us a lesson

Chorus:
    Dm
So tell me
                     F
Did you ever really love me?
                    A#maj7
Did you ever really want me?
                    A#maj7
Now that I see you clearer
  Dm                         F
I wonder, was I ever really happy?
                         A#maj7
Didn't get the chance to ask me
                   A#maj7
Now that I see you clearer
             Dm
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
F                          A#maj7
Oh, was it just smoke and mirrors?

Holding onto tables, pulling out the staples
Keeping you close, now we're not afloat
Point me in the right direction, answer me one question
'Cause I could've sworn that I wasn't wrong

Waiting till the demons come
Wait for us to see them run in our direction
Staring at us through the trees
Got us falling to our knees to teach us a lesson
(Teach us a lesson)

Chorus:
So tell me
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really want me?
Now that I see you clearer
I wonder, was I ever really happy?
Didn't get the chance to ask me
Now that I see you clearer
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
Ooh, was it just smoke and mirrors?

         Gm
Darling, I have been afraid
        A#
I could only call your name
Thank the Heavens that you stayed
           Gm
But if I'm telling you the truth
        A#
When I cut the tether loose
It was me, saving you

Chorus:
So tell me
Did you ever really love me?
Did you ever really want me?
Now that I see you clearer
I wonder, was I ever really happy?
Didn't get the chance to ask me
Now that I see you clearer
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
Was it just smoke and mirrors?
