[Verse 1] 

G                            Gadd4       G   Gadd4
I never came to the beach, or stood by the ocean
Bm                 C               Bm                      C
I never sat by the shore, under the sun with my feet in the sand
                G              Gadd4     G
But you brought me here and I'm happy that you did
      Gadd4   G               Gadd4   G      Gadd4
'Cause now I'm as free as birds catching the wind
G                               Gadd4 G      Gadd4
I always thought I would sink, so  I  never swam
  Bm                        C
I never went boatin', don't get how they are floatin'
    Bm                 C                       Em      Am
And sometimes I get so scared of what I can't understand


[Chorus]
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                        Gadd4      G     Gadd4
We watched the sun go down as we were walking
G                            Gadd4   G          Gadd4
I'd spent the rest of my life standing here talking
G                               Gadd4      G   Gadd4
You would explain the current, as  I  try to smile
Bm                     C                     Bm
Hoping I just stay the same, and nothing will change
             C             G          Gadd4 G
And it'll be us, just for a while. Do we even  exist?
           Gadd4    G               Gadd4     G      Gadd4
That's when  I  make the wish, to swim away with the fish
   G                        Gadd4   G      Gadd4
Is it supposed to be this hot all summer long?
Bm                 C                        Bm
I never would've believed you if three years ago you told me
    C              Em       Am
I'd be here writing this song


[Chorus]
G             Bm   Em           Am
But here I am,     next to you
G                  Bm     Em     Am
The sky is so blue    in Malibu
G           Bm      Em     Am
Next to you     in Malibu 
G           Bm G
Next to you

[Intrumental]

G Gadd4 G Gadd4
Bm C Bm C
Em Am G Bm
Em Am G Bm

[Chorus]
            Em   Am
Next to you
           G      Bm     Em  Am
The sky's so blue    in Malibu
            G   Bm
Next to you

[Outro]
G                              Gadd4    G       Gadd4
We are just like the waves that flow back and forth
G
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
    Gadd4          G
And you're there to save me
                          Gadd4  G
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
       Gadd4 G
It's a brand  new start
  Gadd4 G           Gadd4 G Gadd4 G
A dream  come true in Malibu
