Smoke And Mirrors

B/E           E
      When I was a boy

      B/E              E
      all the books I read

         A
      I followed like a blind man


      to heed the words my father said.




             E              B          E
      Those golden summers faded into night,

       B               E
      words become a dream,

          A
      the echoes of my childhood

           B
      and where the path is winding.




       G
      May God bless you,

       F                          G
      keep you safe from all harm.

                             C
      Oh, may I stand by you always.

       G
      Time and motion.

       F
      Hands touch,

                     G             G/F   F   Em/F   Dm/F   C/F   Dm/F
      lips find a way to heaven on high.




      E    B/E    E    B/E     A/E




       B/E                 E
      Watch the children play,

      B/E                  E
      the child becomes a man,

          A
      and all the tangled webs we weave,


      you swear it as we live and breath.





          E              B               E
      We stay together, death until you part.

       B                 E
      Winner takes the prize.

          A
      The future's at your finger tips,

       B
      right before your eyes.

  Am                       E7
      And nothing from nothing.

                      Am
      And ashes to ash  es, they say.

  F                              E7
      All the more that you reach out

                           F
      the more that it runs away.
