The Age Of Miracles
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Ton : G#
Intro :D# D#(sus4) D# (x4)
The pD#ast comes upon you like sA#moke on the aD#ir
You can sG#mell it and find yourself gA#one D#
To a pG#lace that you lived without wA#orry or cCmare
Isn't tG#hat where we aD#ll once came fG#rom
GD#reen leaves and tall trees and sA#tars overhD#ead
And the sG#ound of the world through the sA#creen D#
But now you sG#leep with the covers pulled oA#ver your hCmead
And you nG#ever remA#ember to dD#ream
You think you're just sG#tandiD#ng stA#ill
One dCmay you'll get uG#p thaA#t hilCml
In the age of mG#iraclD#es A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#ay
GD#reenland is melting the wA#est is on fD#ire
But don't eG#ver stop praying for rA#ain D#
It's a cG#urious place between hA#ope and desCmire
Different gG#ods but the pD#rayer is the sG#ame
And tD#housand-year storms seem to fA#orm on a bD#reeze
Drowning aG#ll living things in their pA#aths D#
AndG# when a small southA#ern town fCminds a G#rope in a tA#ree D#
We're all once again trapped in the past
It seems we're just sG#tandiD#ng stA#ill
One dCmay we'll get uG#p thaA#t hilCml
In the age of mG#iraclD#es A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#ay A#

We can fD#ly through space with the gA#reatest of eD#ase
We can lG#and in the dust of the mA#oon D#
We can tG#ransform our lives with the tA#ap of the kCmeys
Still we cG#an't shake this fD#eeling of dG#maj7oom
But I wD#oke to find monks pouring iA#nto the sD#treets
Marching tG#housands strong into the rA#ain D#
Now if cG#ourage comes dressed in red rA#obes and bare fCmeet
I will nG#ever be fA#earful agD#ain
If I'm just just sG#tandiD#ng stA#ill
One dCmay I'll get uG#p thaA#t hilCml
In the age of mG#iraclD#es A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#ay A#
Seems we're just sG#tandiD#ng stA#ill
One day we'll ride uG#p thaA#t hilCml
In the age of mG#iraclD#es A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#ay A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#ay A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#maj7ay A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#ay A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#maj7ay A#
There's oD#ne on the wG#ay
