Standard Tuning
Capo: 2
Note:
The first verse is fingerpicked slowly usually up and down the D, G, and B strings.
That continues until the second line of the second verse when she uses a pick.
Tim will also occasionally hammer on a lot of the A chords using his pinky on the third
(relative to capo).
* = strum softly
** = start rocking out like your hair is on fire
[Intro]
x2
[Chorus]
All of these l
ines across my
face
Tell you the s
tory of who I
am
So many storie
s of where I'v
e been
And how I got
to where I am
But these stor
ies
don't mean any
thing
When you've go
t no one to te
ll them to
It's true....I
was made for
you
[Verse]
I climbed acro
ss the mountai
n tops
Swam all acros
s the ocean bl
ue
I crossed all
the lines and
I broke all th
e rules
But baby I bro
ke them all fo
r you
Because even w
hen I was flat
broke
You made me fe
el like a mill
ion bucks
Yeah you do, a
nd I was made
for you
(back to fingerpicking at the A)
You see the sm
ile that's on
my mouth
It's hiding th
e words that w
on't come out
And all of my
friends who th
ink that I'm b
lessed
Well they don'
t know my head
is a mess
No they don't
know who I rea
lly am
And they don't
know what I'v
e been through
, but you do
And I was made
for you
[Chorus]
All of these l
**
ines across my
face
Tell you the s
tory of who I
am
So many storie
s of where I'v
e been
And how I got
to where I am
But these stor
ies
don't mean any
thing
When you've go
t no one to te
ll them to
It's true... I
was made for
you
