Intro: G chordG - D chordD - Em chordEm - C chordC x2 (let it fade)
G chordG
All of these lines across my face
D chordD
Tell you the story of who I am
Em chordEm
So many stories of where I've been
C chordC
And how I got to where I am
G chordG D chordD
But these stories don't mean anything
Em chordEm C chordC
When you've got no one to tell them to
G chordG D chordD G chordG
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
D chordD
Swam all across the ocean blue
Em chordEm
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
C chordC
But baby I broke them all for you
G chordG D chordD
Because even when I was flat broke
Em chordEm C chordC
You made me feel like a million bucks
G chordG
You do
D chordD G chordG
I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
D chordD
It's hiding the words that don't come out
Em chordEm
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
C chordC
They don't know my head is a mess
G chordG D chordD
No, they don't know who I really am
Em chordEm
And they don't know what
C chordC G chordG
I've been through like you do
D chordD G chordG
And I was made for you...

All of these lines across my face
D chordD
Tell you the story of who I am
Em chordEm
So many stories of where I've been
C chordC
And how I got to where I am
G chordG D chordD
But these stories don't mean anything
Em chordEm C chordC
When you've got no one to tell them to
G chordG D chordD G chordG
It's true...I was made for you
