[Intro]
G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4

[Verse 1]
G#                            G#sus4       G#   G#sus4
I never came to the beach, or stood by the ocean
Cm                 C#               Cm                      C#
I never sat by the shore, under the sun with my feet in the sand
                G#              G#sus4     G#
But you brought me here and I'm happy that you did
      G#sus4   G#               G#sus4   G#      G#sus4
'Cause now I'm as free as birds catching the wind
G#                               G#sus4    G#      G#sus4
I always thought I would sink, so  I  ne - ver swam
  Cm                        C#
I never went boatin', don't get how they are floatin'
    Cm                 C#                       Fm      A#m
And sometimes I get so scared of what I can't understand


[Chorus]
           G# Cm        Fm  A#m
But here I am,  next to you
           G#       Cm    Fm   A#m
The sky is more blue  in Malibu
        G# Cm    Fm   A#m
Next to you  in Malibu
        G# Cm
Next to you

[Verse 2]
G#                        G#sus4      G#     G#sus4
We watched the sun go down as we were walking
G#                            G#sus4   G#          G#sus4
I'd spent the rest of my life standing here talking
G#                               G#sus4      G#   G#sus4
You would explain the current, as  I  try to smile
Cm                     C#                     Cm
Hoping I just stay the same, and nothing will change
             C#             G#          G#sus4 G#
And it'll be us, just for a while. Do we even  exist?
           G#sus4    G#               G#sus4     G#      G#sus4
That's when  I  make the wish, to swim away with the fish
   G#                        G#sus4   G#      G#sus4
Is it supposed to be this hot all summer long?
Cm                 C#                        Cm
I never would've believed you if three years ago you told me
    C#              Fm       A#m
I'd be here writing this song


[Chorus]
           G# Cm        Fm  A#m
But here I am,  next to you
           G#     Cm    Fm   A#m
The sky is so blue  in Malibu
        G# Cm    Fm   A#m
Next to you  in Malibu
        G# Cm
Next to you

[Instrumental]
G# G#sus4 G# G#sus4
Cm C# Cm C#
Fm A#m G# Cm
Fm A#m G# Cm

[Chorus]
        Fm A#m
Next to you
          G#     Cm    Fm   A#m
The sky's so blue  in Malibu
        G# Cm
Next to you

[Outro]
G#                              G#sus4    G#       G#sus4
We are just like the waves that flow back and forth
G#
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
    G#sus4          G#
And you're there to save me
                          G#sus4  G#
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
       G#sus4 G#
It's a brand  new start
  G#sus4 G#           G#sus4 G#  G#sus4 G#
a dream  come true in Ma  -  libu
