[Verse 1]
C
I never came to the beach or STOOD by the ocean
Em F Em
I never sat by the shore under the sun with my feet
F C
in the sand but you brought me here and I'm HAPPY that you did
C
Cause now I'm as FREE as birds CATCHING the wind
C
I always thought I would sink so I NEVER swam
Em F
I never went boatin' don't get how they are floatin'
Em F Am
And sometimes I get so scared of what I can't understand
[Chorus]
Dm C Em Am
But here I am next to you
Dm C Em Am
The sky's more blue in Malibu
Dm C Em
Next to you in Malibu
Am
Next to you
[Verse 2]
C
We watched the sun go down AS WE were walking
C
I'd spent the rest of my life STANDING here talking
C
You would explain the current AS I just smile
Em F Em F
Hoping that you'll stay the same and nothing will change
C
And it'll be us just for a while
C
Do we EVEN exist
C
That's when I MAKE the wish to swim AWAY with the fish
C
Is it supposed to be this hot ALL SUMMER long
Em F Em F
I never would've believed you if three years ago you told me
C
I'd be here writing this song
C
We are just like the waves that FLOW back and forth
C
Sometimes I feel like I'm DROWNING
C
And you're there to save me
C
And I wanna THANK YOU with all of my heart
C
It's a BRAND new start
C
A DREAM come true in MA libu
