       A                 E
All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am
    F#m                  Asus4
So many stories of where I've been, and how I got to where I am
     A         E           F#m      Asus4
But these stories don't mean anything, when you've got no one to tell them to
   A   E       A  Asus4(2 strums) A(one strum)
It's true, I was made for you

      A                 E
I climbed across the mountain tops, swam all across the ocean blue
         F#m                    Asus4
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules and baby I broke them all for you
      A      E         F#m        Asus4
Oh because even when I was flat broke, you made me feel like a million bucks
 A   E       A  Asus4(2 strums) A(one strum)
You do, I was made for you

N.C.                           E
You see the smile that's on my mouth it's hidin' the words that don't come out
       F#m                      Asus4
All of the friends who think that I'm blessed, they don't know my head is a mess
  A          E        F#m         Asus4
No they don't know who I really am and they don't know what I've been through
    A    E       A  Asus4(2 strums) A(one strum)
Like you do and I was made for you


--You get the idea.---

       A     E       A
Yea well it's true, that I was made for you
