[B] [E] [B]
All of these lines across my face Tell you [F#] the story of where I am
So many [G#] [G#m] stories of where I've been And now [E] I've got to where I am
But [B] these stories don't [F#] mean anything [G#m] When you've got no one [Em] to tell them to
[B] It's true, [F#] I was made [B] for you
I climbed across the mountain tops Swam out [F#] across the ocean blue
I [F#m] climbed over [G#m] land and over road And baby [E] I'm in love for you
Oh, because [B] even when [F#] I was flat broke [G#m] You made me feel [E] like a million bucks
[B] You do, [F#] I was made [B] for you
You

[B] [F#]
[B] see the smile that's on my mouth It's hard in [F#] the words, it don't come out
All of [G#m] them think that I'm blessed They [E] don't know it 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#] and I was made [B] for you
All of these lines across my face Tell you [F#] the
[G#m] story of where I've been
And [E] now I've got to where I am But [B] these stories don't [F#] mean anything
[G#m] When you've got no one [E] to tell them to [B]
It's true, [F#] I was made [B] for you
Oh yeah, [F#] I was made [B]
for you
