The Age Of Miracles by Mary Chapin Carpenter
The Age Of Miracles
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
D# D#sus4 D# (x4)
[Verse 1]
D# A# D# G# A# D#
The past comes upon you like smoke on the air, You can smell it and find yourself gone
G# A# Cm G# D# G#
To a place that you lived without worry or care, Isn''t that where we all once came from
D# A# D# G# A# D#
Green leaves and tall trees and stars overhead, And the sound of the world through the screen
G# A# Cm G# A# D#
But now you sleep with the covers pulled over your head, And you never remember to dream
[Chorus]
G# D# A# Cm G# A# Cm
You think you''re just standing still, One day you''ll get up that hill
G# D# A# D# G#
In the age of miracles, There’s one on the way
[Verse 2]
D# A# D# G# A# D#
Greenland is melting, the west is on fire, But don''t ever stop praying for rain
G# A# Cm G# D# G#
It''s a curious place between hope and desire, Different gods, but the prayer is the same
D# A# D# G# A# D#
And thousand-year storms seem to form on a breeze, Drowning all living things in their paths
G# A# Cm G# A# D#
And when a small southern town finds a rope in a tree, We''re all once again trapped in the past
[Chorus]
G# D# A# Cm G# A# Cm
It seems we''re just standing still, One day we''ll get up that hill,
G# D# A# D# G# A#
In the age of miracles, There''s one on the way
[Solo]
G# D# A# Cm G# A# Cm, G# D# A# D# G# , A#, G# G#
[Verse 3]
D# A# D# G# A# D#
We can fly through space with the greatest of ease, We can land in the dust of the moon
G# A# Cm G# D# G#maj7
We can transform our lives with the tap of the keys, Still we can''t shake this feeling of doom
D# A# D# G# A# D#
But I woke to find monks pouring into the streets, Marching thousands strong into the rain
G# A# Cm G# A# D#
Now if courage comes dressed in red robes and bare feet, I will never be fearful again
[Chorus]
G# D# A# Cm G# A# Cm
If I’m just just standing still, One day I''ll get up that hill,
G# D# A# D# G# A#
In the age of miracles, There’s one on the way
(minimal chords)
G# D# A# G# A# Cm G# D# A#
Seems we''re just standing still, One day we''ll ride up that hill, In the age of miracles
D# G# A# D# G# A# D# G#maj7 A#
There''s one on the way There''s one on the way There''s one on the way
D# G# A# D# G#maj7 A# D# G#
There''s one on the way There''s one on the way There''s one on the way
