Intro : G..C..G..C..
[Verse 1]
G
I never came to the beach
C G C
or stood by the ocean
Bm C
I never sat by the shore
Bm C
under the sun with my feet in the sand
G
But you brought me here
C G
and I'm happy that you did
C G
Cause now I'm as free
C G C
as birds catching the wind
G
I always thought I would sink
C G C
so I never swam
Bm
I never went boating
C
don't get how they are floating
Bm C
And sometimes I get so scared of what
Em
I can't understand
[Chorus :]
Am G Bm Em
....But here I am, next to you
Am G Bm Em
....The sky's more blue in Malibu
Am G Bm Em
...Next to you in Malibu
Am G Bm
...Next to you
[Verse 2]
G
We watched the sun go down
C G C
as we were walking
G
I'd spent the rest of my life
C G C
standing here talking
G C
You would explain the current
G C
as I try to smile
Bm C
Hoping that you'll stay the same
Bm
and nothing will change
C G
And it'll be us, just for a while
C G
Do we even exist?
C G
That's when I make the wish,
C G C
to swim away with the fish
G
Is it supposed to be this hot
C G C
all summer long?
Bm C
I never would've believed you
Bm
if three years ago you told me
C Em
I'd be here writing this song
[Chorus :]
Am G Bm Em
....But here I am, next to you
Am G Bm Em
....The sky's more blue in Malibu
Am G Bm Em
...Next to you in Malibu
Am G Bm
...Next to you
[Instrumental]
G C G G
Bm C Bm C
Em Am G Bm Em
Am G Bm
[Chorus]
Em
Next to you
Am G Bm Em
...The sky's so blue in Malibu
Am G Bm
...Next to you
[Outro]
G
We are just like the waves
C G C
that flow back and forth
G C
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
G
And you're there to save me
C G
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
C G
It's a brand new start
C G
A dream come true
C G C G*
