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!

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