Smoke And Mirrors
Recorded by Jennifer Nettles
Intro.: (G) x 4 bars
Well I (G)move around incessantly, but I (Am)long for something sedentary
Not (C)long enough to stagnate, not (G)long enough to gel
But I can't keep still and I know just why I'm a-(A)fraid I might get satisfied
And (C)what would then become of all this (G)anger that I sell
(Chorus)
Oh, I'd (D/A)like to think that maybe, it's more than (C)smoke and mirrors baby
To (D/A)keep myself from feelin' oh so (C) small
But the (D/A)girl behind the curtain hides, so (C)you can't see her hurtin'
And (Am)then she'll turn to watch the curtain (C)fall
Yeah, (Am)then she'll run and make a curtain (C)call
Inst.: |(G) |(G) |(Am) |(Am) |(C) |(C) |(G) |(G)
I know (G)love ain't always a fairytale, but I (Am)tell you baby it's just as well
A (C)heart must know the tears for it to (G)recognize the laughter
And my heart keeps laughin' most of the time, and you (Am)gave me yours and I gave you mine
And (C)that is quite enough for my (G)happy ever after
(Chorus)
Oh, I'd (D/A)like to think that maybe it's more than (C)smoke and mirrors baby
To (D/A)keep myself from feelin' oh so (C) tall
But the (D/A)girl behind the curtain hides, so (C)you can't see her hurtin'
And (Am)then she'll turn to watch the curtain (C)to fall
Hey, (Am)then she'll runs and makes a curtain (C) to call
