The Story
Standard Tuning
Capo: 2
Note:
The first verse is fingerpicked slowly usually up and down the D, G, and B strings.
That continues until the second line of the second verse when she uses a pick.
Tim will also occasionally hammer on a lot of the A chords using his pinky on the third
(relative to capo).
* = strum softly
** = start rocking out like your hair is on fire
[Intro]
A Asus4 x2
[Chorus]
A
All of these lines across my face
E
Tell you the story of who I am
F#m
So many stories of where I've been
D
And how I got to where I am
A
But these stories
E
don't mean anything
F#m D
When you've got no one to tell them to
A E A
It's true....I was made for you
[Verse]
A*
I climbed across the mountain tops
E**
Swam all across the ocean blue
F#m
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
D
But baby I broke them all for you
A E
Because even when I was flat broke
F#m D
You made me feel like a million bucks
A E A
Yeah you do, and I was made for you
(back to fingerpicking at the A)
A
You see the smile that's on my mouth
E
It's hiding the words that won't come out
F#m
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
D
Well they don't know my head is 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, but you do
E A
And I was made for you
[Chorus]
A**
All of these lines across my face
E
Tell you the story of who I am
F#m
So many stories of where I've been
D
And how I got to where I am
A
But these stories
E
don't mean anything
F#m D
When you've got no one to tell them to
A E A
It's true... I was made for you

I think it's a really good tab, it just sounds a little better to me played as F#M rather than F#...just trying to be helpful:-)..perfect in everything else.

I love it! These tabs are great. Although while watching a live video of her playing, I noticed she uses a F#m not F#. Other than that, perfect!
