[B]
[E] [B] All of these lines across my face tell you [F#] the story of who I am
[F#m] So [G#m] many stories where I've been [F#m] and now [E] I've got to where I am
But [B] these stories don't [F#] mean anything when [G#m] you've got no one [F#m] [E] to tell them to
[F#m] It's [B] true, [F#] I was [B] made for you
[E] I [B]
climbed across the mountain sides
Swam out [F#] of trouble to the ocean blue
I crossed over [G#m] lands and I broke all the rules
But baby [E] I fell in love with you
Oh, [B] because even when I [F#] was blood-broke
[G#m] You made me feel like [E] a million bucks
[B] You do, [F#] all I have to be for [B] you is that
[E] Oh, that [B] you can,
[C#m] can, can,
[D#m] oh, oh
[F#] You see [B] the smiles on my mouth
It's hard in the [F#] words [E] that [F#] don't come out
And [C#m] all of [G#m] my friends who think that I'm blessed
They [E] don't know my head is a mess
[B] No, they don't know [F#] who I really am
[G#m] And they don't know [E] what I've been through
[B] Like you do, [F#] all I have is me [B] for you
And all of the other girls that I've heard
[F#]
[F#m] [G#m] And stories where I've been and [E] now I've got to where I am
But [B] these stories don't mean [F#] anything when [G#] you've got no [F#m] one [E] to tell them
So [B] it's true, [F#] I was made [B] for you
Oh, that's true, [E] [F#] made for [B] you
[E] [B]
