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

Chorus:
Cm         Fm   Cm     Fm
But here I am, next to you
Db              Ab    Cm   Fm Db
The sky's more blue in Malibu
         Ab  Cm   Fm Db
Next to you in Malibu
      Ab  Cm
Next to you

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

Chorus:
Cm         Fm   Cm     Fm
But here I am, next to you
Db              Ab    Cm   Fm Db
The sky's more blue in Malibu

Next to you in Malibu
      Ab  Cm
Next to you

Next to you

Outro:
Ab                                Db             Ab
We are just like the waves that flow back and forth
Cm                         Db
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
                     Cm
And you're there to save me
                   Db               Ab
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
         Db        Ab
It's a brand new start
    Db     Ab         Db    Ab
