(Intro.)

(Verse 1)
All of these (G)lines across my face tell you the (D)story of who I am
So many (Em)stories of where I've been and how I (C)got to where I am
But these (G)stories don't mean (D)anything
When you've (Em)got no one to (C)tell them to
It's (G)true, (D)I was made for (G)you (C/G) (G) - - -
 
(Verse 2)
I climbed a-(G)cross the mountain tops, swam all a-(D)cross the ocean blue
I crossed all the (Em)lines and I broke all the rules
But baby, I (C)broke them all for you
Oh, because (G)even when I was (D) flat broke
You (Em)made me feel like a (C)million bucks, you (G)do
(DI was made for (G)you (C/G) (G)

(Verse 3)
(G)You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the (D)words that don't come out
All of our (Em)friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't (C)know my head's a mess
No, (G)they don't know who (D/F#)I really (D)am
And (Em)they don't know what (C)I've been through like you (G) do
And (D)I was made for (G)you (C/G) (G)
 
(Verse 4)
All of these (G)lines across my face tell you the (D)story of who I am
So many (Em)stories of where I've been and how I (C)got to where I am
Oh, but these (G)stories don't mean (D)anything
When you've (Em)got no one to (C)tell them to
It's (G)true, (D)I was made for (G)you (C/G) (G)
Oh yeah, well, it's (G)true - - - that (D)I was made for (G)you - - - - -
