Mary Chapin Carpenter - The age of miracles

The ^D#past comes upon you like ^A#smoke on the ^D#air, You can ^G#smell it and find yourself ^A#gone^D# To a ^G#place that you lived without ^A#worry or ^Cmcare, Isn't ^G#that where we ^D#all once came ^G#from ^D#Green leaves and tall trees and ^A#stars over^D#head, And the ^G#sound of the world through the ^A#screen ^D# But now you ^G#sleep with the covers pulled ^A#over your ^Cmhead, And you ^G#never re^A#member to ^D#dream

You think you're just ^G#stand^D#ing ^A#still, One ^Cmday you'll get ^G#up ^A#that ^Cmhill In the age of ^G#mir^D#acl^A#es, There’s ^D#one on the ^G#way

^D#Greenland is melting, the ^A#west is on ^D#fire, But don't ^G#ever stop praying for ^A#rain^D# It's a ^G#curious place between ^A#hope and de^Cmsire, Different ^G#gods, but the ^D#prayer is the ^G#same And ^D#thousand-year storms seem to ^A#form on a ^D#breeze, Drowning ^G#all living things in their ^A#paths ^D# And when a ^G#small southern town finds a ^A#rope in a ^Cmtree, We're all ^G#once again ^A#trapped in the ^D#past

It seems we're just ^G#stan^D#ding ^A#still, One ^Cmday we'll get ^G#up ^A#that ^Cmhill, In the age of ^G#mir^D#acl^A#es, There's ^D#one on the ^G#way ^A#

We can ^D#fly through space with the ^A#greatest of ^D#ease, We can ^G#land in the dust of the ^A#moon ^D# We can ^G#transform our lives with the ^A#tap of the ^Cmkeys, Still we ^G#can't shake this ^D#feeling of ^G#maj7doom But I ^D#woke to find monks pouring ^A#into the ^D#streets, Marching ^G#thousands strong into the ^A#rain ^D# Now if ^G#courage comes dressed in red ^A#robes and bare ^Cmfeet, I will ^G#never be ^A#fearful a^D#gain

If I’m just just ^G#stand^D#ing ^A#still, One ^Cmday I'll get ^G#up ^A#that ^Cmhill, In the age of ^G#mir^D#acl^A#es, There’s ^D#one on the ^G#way ^A#

Seems we're just ^G#stan^D#ding ^A#still, One day we'll ride ^G#up ^A#that ^Cmhill, In the age of ^G#mir^D#acl^A#es There's ^D#one on the ^G#way ^A# There's ^D#one on the ^G#way ^A# There's ^D#one on the ^G#maj7way ^A# There's ^D#one on the ^G#way ^A# There's ^D#one on the ^G#maj7way ^A# There's ^D#one on the ^G#way
