Crash and burn, all the stars explode tonight  
How'd you get so desperate, how'd you stay alive  
Help me please, burn the sorrow from your eyes  
Come on be alive again, don't lay down and die 

G     Em     D     A  
Hey hey, you know what to do  
Oh baby, drive away from Malibu  

Em9          D          E7sus4          A   
Get well soon, please don't go any higher  
How are you so burnt when you're barely on fire  
Cry to the angels, I'm going to rescue you I'm going to set you free   
Tonight baby, pour over me  
  

G     Em     D     A  
Hey hey, we're all watching you  
Oh baby, fly away to Malibu  
Cry to the angels and let them swallow you  
Go and part the sea, yeah, in Malibu

And the sun goes down, I watch you slip away  
And the sun goes down, I walk into the waves  
And the sun goes down, I watch you slip away   
And I walk...  

G                          D                                  A 
And I knew love would tear you apart  
And I knew the darkest secret of your heart  


G     Em     D     A  
Hey hey, I'm going to follow you  
Oh baby, fly away, yeah, to Malibu  
Oceans of angels, oceans of stars  
Down by the sea is where you drown your scars

I can't be near you, the light just radiates
