[Verse 1]
Am
The fires continued through the night
Em C
The kid with a bat face appeared at the window then
disappeared into the headlights
Am
I was halfway to the Pacific
Coast
Em C
I had left you in your longing and your yearning like a ghost
Am Em C
There's little room for wonder now, and little room for wildness too
Am Em C
We crawl into our wounds, I'm nearly all the way to Malibu
Am Em
I'm gonna buy me a house up in the hills
C
With a tear-shaped pool and a gun that kills
Am
Cause they say there is a cougar that roams these parts
Em C
With a terrible engine of wrath for a heart
Am
That she is white and rare and full of all kinds of harm
Em C
And stalks the perimeter all day long
Am Em C
But at night lays trembling in my arms
[Chorus]
Am Em C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
Am Em C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
Am Em C
And I'm just waiting now, for my place in the sun
Am Em C
And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come
Am Em C x4
[Verse 2]
Am Em C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
Am Em C
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
Am Em C
And we hide in our wounds I'm nearly all the way to Malibu
Am Em
And I know my time will come one day soon
C
I'm waiting for peace to come
Am Em
I'm nearly all the way to Malibu
C
Oh babe we're on the run, we're on the run, we're on the run
Am Em
Halfway down the Pacific Coast
C Am Em C Am Em C
Well I left you sleeping like a ghost in your wounds
Am Em
Darling your dreams are your greatest part
C
I carry them with me in my heart
Am Em
Darling your dreams are your greatest part
C
I carry them with me in my heart
Am Em C
Somewhere, don't know
Am Em C x3
[Verse 3]
Am
Now I'm standing on the shore
Em
All the animals roam the beaches
C
Sea creatures rise out of the sea
Am
And I'm standing on the shore
Em
Everyone begins to run
N.C.
The kid drops his bucket and spade
And climbs into the sun
C Am Em x2
[Verse 4]
C Am Em C
Kisa had a baby, but the baby died
Am Em C
Goes to the villagers, says "My baby's sick!"
Am
Villagers shake their heads and say to her
Em
"Better bury your baby in the forest quick"
[Refrain]
C Am Em
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind
C Am Em C
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind
[Verse 5]
Am
Kisa went to the mountain and asked the Buddha
Em C
"My baby's sick!" Buddha said, "Don't cry"
Am
"Go to each house and collect a mustard seed
Em C
But only from a house where no one's died"
Am
Kisa went to each house in the village
Em C
"My baby's getting sicker", poor Kisa cried
Am
But Kisa never collected one mustard seed
Em C
In every house, someone had died
Am
Kisa sat down in the old village square
Em C
She hugged her baby and cried and cried
Am
She said everybody is always losing somebody
Em
Then walked into the forest and buried her child
[Refrain]
C Am Em
Everybody's losing someone
C Am Em
Everybody's losing someone
C Am Em
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind
C Am Em
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind
[Chorus]
C Am Em
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
C Am Em
And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come
C
For peace to come
