Malibu Live Acoustic

• Em9

I do not own this song or any of the lyrics. I simply Love the band.
 I noticed a few album versions of the song but not the unplugged 
(Live) version which has a additional ending as well as add-in lyrics 
and different chords in places. This is the unplugged version with 
the additional ending esc. I also find this version graceful with nice 
backing vocals and a bass back-up, but because we are not all in 
bands it sounds perfect solo.

Chords: Em9 (AKA: Em/D), D, Bm, A, G, C, E

Intro: Em9  D   Bm   A x2

Verse 1:
Em9          D          Bm          A
Crash and Burn, All the stars explode tonight
Em9         D                Bm          A                                   
How'd you get so desperate?, How'd you stay alive?
Em9           D         Bm          A
Help me please, burn the sorrow from your eyes
Em9          D                          
Oh, come on, be alive again

This song gains in places and you really have to give 
it a listen a few times to get the rhythm and vocals 
down good. Courtney has a way of pronouncing things 
while she is singing, its a groove you have to get into 
with practice. Awesome Song though, its worth it. Fun 
to play live or in your bedroom :) If this was hard to 
understand forgive me its my first try at this.
