The Story Tab

by Brandi Carlile


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:  -  -  -  x2 (let it fade)
             
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
----- continue G -----
I climbed across the mountain tops
           
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
    
You do
              
I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
                
It's hiding the words that don't come out
              
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
           
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 like you do
                  
And I was made for you...

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
