[Verse 1]
The fires continued through the 
Am
night
The kid with a bat face appeared at 
    Em                             
the window then €…disappeared into 
             C
the headlights
                             Am
I was halfway to the Pacific €…Coast
                       Em          
I had left you in your longing and 
                           C
your yearning like a ghost
                        Am         
There's little room for wonder now,
                     Em           C
 and little room for wildness too
           Am                 Em  
We crawl into our wounds, I'm 
                         C
nearly all the way to Malibu
                    Am             
I'm gonna buy me a house up in the 
      Em
hills
With a tear-shaped pool and a gun 
           C
that kills
                          Am
Cause they say there is a cougar 
that roams these parts
       Em                          
With a terrible engine of wrath for
         C
 a heart
                      Am
That she is white and rare and full 
of all kinds of harm
    Em                          
And stalks the perimeter all day 
      C
long
But at night lays trembling in my 
Am   Em C
arms


[Chorus]
             Am          Em    
And I'm just waiting now, for my 
               C
time to come
             Am          Em    
And I'm just waiting now, for my 
               C
time to come
             Am          Em    
And I'm just waiting now, for my 
                   C
place in the sun
             Am          Em       
And I'm just waiting now, for 
           C
peace to come

[Verse 2]
             Am                  
And I'm just waiting now, for my 
Em           C
time to come
              Am        Em     
And I'm just waiting now, for my 
               C
time to come
       Am                 Em      
And we hide in our wounds I'm 
                         C
nearly all the way to Malibu

                   Am              
And I know my time will come one 
       Em
day soon
                              C
I'm waiting for peace to come
           Am                    Em
I'm nearly all the way to Malibu
Oh babe we're on the run, we're on 
                          C
the run, we're on the run
                   Am          Em
Halfway down the Pacific Coast
Well I left you sleeping like a 
              C Am Em   C Am Em C
ghost in your wounds
              Am            
Darling your dreams are your 
               Em
greatest part
                                 C
I carry them with me in my heart
              Am            
Darling your dreams are your 
               Em
greatest part
                                 C
I carry them with me in my heart
         Am      Em   C
Somewhere, don't know

[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

[Verse 4]
C           Am                 
 Kisa had a baby, but the baby 
Em   C
died
            Am                 
Goes to the villagers, says "My 
        Em     C
baby's sick!"
                      Am
Villagers shake their heads and say 
to her
                  Em
"Better bury your baby in the forest
 quick"


[Refrain]
       C           Am            
It's a long way to find peace of 
Em
mind, peace of mind
       C           Am            
It's a long way to find peace of 
Em                  C
mind, peace of mind


[Verse 5]
                 Am
Kisa went to the mountain and asked 
the Buddha
           Em                 
"My baby's sick!" Buddha said, 
             C
"Don't cry"
"Go to each house and collect a 
        Am
mustard seed
                            Em     
But only from a house where no 
        C
one's died"
                  Am
Kisa went to each house in the 
village
                   Em           
"My baby's getting sicker", poor 
            C
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                
She hugged her baby and cried and 
       C
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            
It's a long way to find peace of 
Em
mind, peace of mind
C                  Am            
It's a long way to find peace of 
Em
mind, peace of mind


[Chorus]
C            Am                  
And I'm just waiting now, for my 
Em
time to come
C            Am               Em
And I'm just waiting now, for peace 
to come
             C
For peace to come
