This is how to play it without the capo...it very simple once you get the hang of it... 
of only four chords... 3 of them are bar chords... But this is in the right key and 
using a capo...enjoy!!!!

p.s. This is my first one ive done..but 100% sure of it


The Story

Standard Tuning


             B (Real Soft strumming or finger pick)
All of these lines across my face
             
Tell you the story of who I am
        
So many stories of where I've been
          
And how I got to where I am
          
But these stories
           
don't mean anything
                        
When you've got no one to tell them to
                         
It's true....I was made for you

          B <---( strumming softly)
I climbed across the mountain tops
         F#m  <-- (Hard strumming)
Swam all across the ocean blue
                  
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
           
But baby I broke them all for you
                   
Because even when I was flat broke
                      
You made me feel like a million bucks
                             
Yeah you do, and I was made for you

Solo: Chords = Same as above

            (No guitar)
You see the smile that's on my mouth
                F#m (Soft Strumming)
It's hiding the words that won't come out
              
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
                
Well they don't know my head is a mess
                       
No they don't know who I really am
                                            
And they don't know what I've been through, but you do
                 
And I was made for you


             B  <---(Hard strumming)
All of these lines across my face
             
Tell you the story of who I am
        
So many stories of where I've been
          
And how I got to where I am
          
But these stories
           
don't mean anything
                       
When you've got no one to tell them to
                         
It's true....I was made for you
            (Finger pick)             ..finger pick end 
single strum
Oh yeh it's true.... that i was made for you.

Hope u can have fun playing this!!
