Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

[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
