The Story

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]
