mister pull up a chair
D
i got time for tears
Em Cmaj
tell me all the stories that you never did
G
of the salty south
D Em
the seminoles held out
Cmaj
while geronimo died in a lonely jail

a thousand tides , and
D

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
