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


Chorus:
       A minorAm     E minorEm          C majorC
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
       A minorAm     E minorEm          C majorC
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
       A minorAm     E minorEm            C majorC
And I'm just waiting now, for my place in the sun
       A minorAm     E minorEm         C majorC
And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come


A minorAm E minorEm C majorC x4

Verse 2:
       A minorAm         E minorEm      C majorC
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
       A minorAm    E minorEm          C majorC
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come
    A minorAm         E minorEm                C majorC
And we hide in our wounds I'm nearly all the way to Malibu
          A minorAm           E minorEm
And I know my time will come one day soon
               C majorC
I'm waiting for peace to come
      A minorAm          E minorEm
I'm nearly all the way to Malibu
                               C majorC
Oh babe we're on the run, we're on the run, we're on the run
          A minorAm     E minorEm
Halfway down the Pacific Coast
                       C majorC A minorAm E minorEm  C majorC A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
Well I left you sleeping like a ghost in your wounds
       A minorAm              E minorEm
Darling your dreams are your greatest part
                 C majorC
I carry them with me in my heart
       A minorAm              E minorEm
Darling your dreams are your greatest part
                 C majorC
I carry them with me in my heart
     A minorAm   E minorEm  C majorC
Somewhere, don't know


A minorAm E minorEm C majorC x3


Verse 3:
               A minorAm
Now I'm standing on the shore
                 E minorEm
All the animals roam the beaches
                 C majorC
Sea creatures rise out of the sea
               A minorAm
And I'm standing on the shore
            E minorEm
Everyone begins to run
                  N.C.
The kid drops his bucket and spade

And climbs into the sun


C majorC A minorAm E minorEm x2

C majorC      A minorAm         E minorEm  C majorC
 Kisa had a baby, but the baby died
      A minorAm             E minorEm   C majorC
Goes to the villagers, says "My baby's sick!"
           A minorAm
Villagers shake their heads and say to her
         E minorEm
"Better bury your baby in the forest quick"


Refrain:

It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind

         A minorAm
Kisa went to the mountain and asked the Buddha
      E minorEm               C majorC
"My baby's sick!" Buddha said, "Don't cry"
                    A minorAm
"Go to each house and collect a mustard seed
              E minorEm       C majorC
But only from a house where no one's died"
         A minorAm
Kisa went to each house in the village
          E minorEm            C majorC
"My baby's getting sicker", poor Kisa cried
               A minorAm
But Kisa never collected one mustard seed
        E minorEm        C majorC
In every house, someone had died

Then walked into the forest and buried her child

It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind
C majorC         A minorAm      E minorEm
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind

C majorC      A minorAm         E minorEm
And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come

And I'm just waiting now, for peace to come
       C majorC
For peace to come
