The Story by Brandi Carlile - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Brandi Carlile Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 5

            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).


The Story

Standard Tuning
Capo II


[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 -- (begin strumming softly)
I climbed across the mountain tops
         E  -- (start rocking out like your hair is on fire)
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

            A -- (back to fingerpicking)
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  -- (strumming)   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  -- (hair is on fire again)
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
