I was looking through the chords for this song and thought... well the song sounds like
a simple song, and these tablatures look fairly complicated, at least for a beginner.
So I started strumming around on my guitar and randomly started singing the song to a
pattern and it sounded perfect. (well to me anyway)
It is no more than 4 chords, and it is the same pattern the whole way through, so it's
for a beginner.
Onto it!
Capo on the 4th fret.

Intro: G - D - Em - C x2 (let it fade)
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 [Em]you've got no one to [C]tell them to
It's [G]true...[D]I was made for [G]you
----- continue G -----
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all ac[D]ross the ocean blue
I crossed all the [Em]lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I b[C]roke them all for you
Because [G]even when I [D]was flat broke
You [Em]made me feel like a [C]million bucks
You [G]do
[D]I was made for [G]you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the [D]words that don't come out
And all of my [Em]friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't [C]know my head is a mess
No, [G]they don't know who[D] I really am
And [Em]they don't know what
[C]I've been through like [G]you do
[D]And I was made for [G]you...
All of these 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 [Em]you've got no one to [C]tell them to
It's [G]true...[D]I was made for [G]you
