[Verse 1]
A E
All of these lines across my face tell you the story of who I am
F#m D
So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am
A E F#m D
But these stories don't mean anything, when you've got no one to tell them to
A E A Asus4 A
It's true, I was made for you
[Verse 2]
A E
I climbed across the mountain tops, swam all across the ocean blue
F#m
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules

You see the smile that's on my mouth
E
It's hiding the words that don't come out
F#m
All of our friends who think that I'm blessed
D
They don't know my head's a mess
A E
No, they don't know who I really am
F#m D A
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
E A Asus4 A
And I was made for you
[Verse 4]
A E
All of these lines across my face tell you the story of who I am

When you've got no one to tell them to
A E A Asus4 A
It's true, I was made for you
