intro: G D Em Cmaj (hammer on and pull off casually. it gives a more similar sound to the song)

G
Mister pull up a chair
D                    
I got time for tears
Em                      C
Tell me all the stories that you never did
G
Of the salty south
D                   Em
The Seminoles held out
                      C
While Geronimo died in a lonely jail

G
A thousand tides, and
D
A thousand waves
Em           C
Takin' it all away

G        
It'll come back in
D                 
We'll be gone by then
       Em                   C
And it's a miracle we ever learned to live


Drain that land
For a better plan
Sugarcane and the civil man
But now the ringin' dead them pines
Planted in that time
We gonna keep on killin' till they get it right

A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves
Takin' it all away

It'll come back in
We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we ever learned to live

I remember the wind
As it was settlin'
And every sun goin' down was a picture then
But we look back at 'em framed
They all look the same
There's no sense of time, no sense of pain

A thousand tides, and
A thousand waves
Takin' it all away

And it'll come back in
We'll be gone by then, oh
And it's a miracle we ever learned to give
