[Verse 1]
The fires continued through the [Am]night
The kid with a bat face appeared at [Em]the window,
and disappeared [C]into the headlights
I was halfway to the pacific [Am]coast
I had left you in your long[Em]ing and your
yearning like [C]a ghost
There's [Am]little room [D]for wonder now,
and little room [Em]for wildness t[C]oo
We crawl [Am]into [D]our wounds[C]
[Em]I'm nearly all the way to [C]Malibu
I'm gonna buy me a [D]house up in the
hill[Em]s
With a tear-shaped pool pool
and a gun that kills
[C]'Cause they say [Em]there is a cougar
that [D]roams [Am]these parts
With a ter[Em]rible engine of wrath for a heart
[C]That she is white and[Em] rare and
[Am]full of all kinds of harm
And [Em]stalks the perimeter all day long
[C]But at night lays trembling in
my [Am]arms
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[C]
And I'm just [D]waiting now,
[Em]for my time to c[C]ome
And [Am]I'm just waiting n[D]ow,
[C]for[Em] my time to come[C]
And I'm just [D]waiting now,
[C]for[Em] my place in the sun[C]
And I'm just waiting [D]now,
[Em]for peace to come

[Verse 3]
And I'm just wait[Em]ing n[D]ow,
for my [Em]time [C]to come
And I'm just wait[Am]ing now,
[Em]for my time to c[C]ome
And [Am]we hide in our wounds [Em]and I'm
nearly all the way [C]to Malibu
And I know my time [D]will come
one day [Em]soon
I'm waiting for peace [C]to come
And I'm nearly [D]all the way
[Em]to Malibu
Oh babe we're on the run, we're on the run,
we're on [C]the run
Halfway down [Em]the Pacif[D]ic coast
[Em]I left you sleeping like a ghost
in your [C]wound[D] s[Em]

Darling your [Am]dream
s are your greatest [D]part[Em]

[Verse 5]
[C]Now I'm standing on the sho[D]re
All the animals roam [Em]the beaches
Sea creatures rise out of the sea
And I'm [C]standing on the shore
[Am]Everyone begins to r[Em]un
The kid drops his bucket and spade and climbs

[Interlude 4]

[Verse 6]
Kisa [Am]had a baby,
but the baby [Em]died[C]
Goes to the vil[Am]lagers,
says my baby's sick
[Em]Vill[C]agers shake their
heads [Am]and say to her
Better bury [Em]your baby in the forest quick
It's a [C]long way to [Am]find peace of [Em]mind,
peace of mind
It's a [C]long way to [D]find peace of [Em]mind,
peace of [C]mind
Kisa went to the mountain
[D]and asked the Buddha
My baby's sick, Buddha said [Em]don't [C]cry
Go to each house and collect
a mustard [D]seed
But only from the house
where no [Em]one d[C]ied
Kisa went to each house [D]in the village
My baby's getting [Em]sicker, poor Kisa cried
[C]But Kisa never collected one mustard see[D]d
In [Am]every house, [Em]someone [C]had died
Kisa sat down in the [D]old village [Am]square
[D]She hugged her baby an[Em]d cried and cried
[C]She said everybody is always
[Am]losing somebody
Then [Em]walked into the forest
and buried her [C]child
Every[Am]body's losing [Em]someone[C]
Every[Am]body's losing [Em]someone
It's [C]a long way [D]to find [Am]peace of mind,
[Em]peace of mind
[C]It's a long way [D]to find peace of [Em]mind,
peace [C]of mind
And I'm just waiting [D]now,
for [Em]my time to come
[C]And I'm just wai[D]ting now, for pea[Em]ce to come,
for peace to [C]come
