The fires continued through the ^Amnight The kid with a bat face appeared at the ^Emwindow then disappeared into the headlights ^C I was halfway to the Pacific ^AmCoast I had left you in your ^Emlonging and your yearning like a ghost ^C There's little room for ^Amwonder now, and little room for ^Emwildness too ^C We crawl in^Amto our wounds, I'm ^Emnearly all the way to Malibu ^C I'm gonna buy me a h^Amouse up in the hills ^Em With a tear-shaped pool and a gun that kills ^C Cause they say there is a ^Amcougar that roams these parts With a ^Emterrible engine of wrath for a heart ^C That she is white and ^Amrare and full of all kinds of harm And ^Emstalks the perimeter all day long ^C But at night lays trembling in my ^Amarms ^{Em C}

And I'm just ^Amwaiting now,^Em for my time to come ^C And I'm just ^Amwaiting now,^Em for my time to come ^C And I'm just ^Amwaiting now,^Em for my place in the sun ^C And I'm just ^Amwaiting now,^Em for peace to come ^C

And I'm just ^Amwaiting now, for my ^Emtime to come ^C And I'm just w^Amaiting now^Em, for my time to come ^C And we ^Amhide in our wounds ^EmI'm nearly all the way to Malibu ^C And I know my time ^Amwill come one day soon ^Em I'm waiting for peace to come ^C I'm nearly ^Amall the way to Malibu ^Em Oh babe we're on the run, we're on the run, we're on the run ^C Halfway down the Pa^Amcific Coast ^Em Well I left you sleeping like a ghost in your ^Cwo^Amund^Ems ^{C Am Em C} Darling your d^Amreams are your greatest part ^Em I carry them with me in my heart ^C Darling your d^Amreams are your greatest part ^Em I carry them with me in my heart ^C Somewhere^Am, don't ^Emknow ^C

Now I'm standing on the shore ^Am All the animals roam the beaches ^Em Sea creatures rise out of the sea ^C And I'm standing on the shore ^Am Everyone begins to run ^Em The kid drops his bucket and spade
