capo 1st fret
(everything is transposed as if the capo isn't there)
I usually play my Gs 3-2-0-0-3-3 adding the D
on the 5th string during the chorus but if you don't
like the sound, you can use the standard G shape.
I play the Gs in each verse as a bar chord as I
find it easier to switch to a Gsus4 bar chord in
the medley and I prefer the feeling the bar
chords give off. If you prefer the standard shapes
you can play those instead.
Intro: [G] [Gsus4] [G] [Gsus4]
[G]I never came to the beach or [Gsus4]stood by t[G]he ocean [Gsus4]
[Bm]I never sat by the [C]shore under
the [Bm]sun with my feet in the [C]sand
But you brought [G]me here and I'm [Gsus4]happy that yo[G]u did
'Cause [Gsus4]now I'm a[G]s free as birds ca[Gsus4]tching the w[G]ind [Gsus4]
[G]I always thought I would sink, so [Gsus4]I never[G] swam [Gsus4]
[Bm]I never went boatin', don't
get [C]how they are floatin'
And [Bm]sometimes I get so [C]scared
of what I can't under[Em]stand [Am]
But here I [G]am [Bm]
Next to [Em]you [Am]
The sky is mo[G]re blue [Bm]
In Mali[Em]bu [Am]
Next to [G]you [Bm]
In Mali[Em]bu [Am]
Next to [G]you [Bm]
[G]We watched the sun go down [Gsus4]as we wer[G]e walking [Gsus4]
[G]I'd spend the rest of my life
jus[Gsus4]t standing her[G]e talking [Gsus4]
[G]You would explain the current, as [Gsus4]I jus[G]t smile [Gsus4]
[Bm]Hoping I just stay the [C]same and nothing will [Bm]change
And it'll be [C]us, just for a [G]while
Do we [Gsus4]even e[G]xist?
That's when [Gsus4]I make th[G]e wish
To swim [Gsus4]away with th[G]e fish [Gsus4]
[G]Is it supposed to be this hot a[Gsus4]ll summe[G]r long? [Gsus4]
[Bm]I never would've be[C]lieved you
If three years a[Bm]go you told me
I'd be [C]here writing thi[Em]s song [Am]
But here I [G]am [Bm]
Next to [Em]you [Am]
The sky is mo[G]re blue [Bm]
In Mali[Em]bu [Am]
Next to [G]you [Bm]
In Mali[Em]bu [Am]
Next to [G]you [Bm]
Next to [Em]you [Am]
The sky is so [G]blue [Bm]
In Mali[Em]bu [Am]
Next to [G]you [Bm]
[G] [Gsus4] [G] [Gsus4] [Bm] [C] [Bm] [C] Ah...
[Em] [Am] [G] [Bm] [Em] [Am] [G] [Bm]Ah...
Next to [Em]you [Am]
The sky is so [G]blue [Bm]
In Mali[Em]bu [Am]
Next to [G]you [Bm]
[G]We are just like the waves that [Gsus4]flow back and [G]forth
[Bm]Sometimes I feel like I'm [C]
drowning and you're there to [Bm]save me
And I wanna [C]thank you with all of m[G]y heart
It's a [Gsus4]brand ne[G]w start
A [Gsus4]dream com[G]e true
In [Gsus4]Mali[G]bu ([Gsus4] [G])
