Born For Loving You Live Chords by Big Thief

[Intro]

G
 
 
[Verse]

          G                   
After the first stars formed, 
          Em
after the dinos fell
          C                       
After the first light flickered 
       Dadd4add9
out of this motel
G          Em
1991 momma pushing like heck
C                    Dadd4add9
Tangled in blood and vine
        G                 Em
From my first steps to my first words
   C              Dadd4add9
To walking around looking at birds
       G                  Em
To the teenage nightmare, mine and yours
C                    Dadd4add9
Thank God we made it through
 
 
[Chorus]

             G               C
'Cause I was born for loving you
          G          
It's just something 
              C
I was made to do
        Am                      C
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
      G        C
I was born for loving you
 
 
[Verse]

G               Em
Now we're here, but where is here?
     C                 Dadd4add9
When sometimes we both disappear
G                Em
Into that shadow box of fear
C               Dadd4add9
That tiny-holed abyss
         G                 Em
From the first kiss to the first freak
C                  Dadd4add9
I don't think it's just good luck
G                           Em
Take me to the back of your pick-up truck
C                  Dadd4add9
Show me a thing or two
 
 
[Chorus]

             G               C
'Cause I was born for loving you
          G                       C
It's just something I was made to do
        Am                      C
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
      G        C
I was born for loving you

[Verse]

         G                   
When the hard times come and 
    Em
the hard times stay
          C                Dadd4add9
When they stick around and won't go away
        G                         
When it seems there's nothing you 
         Em
can do or say
C               Dadd4add9
Nowhere you can turn
         G                 Em
From the last breath of my first death
        C            Dadd4add9
To this lifetime and lifetimes left
G                Em            C
Congratulations, no regrets
     Dadd4add9
It's true
 
 
[Chorus]

      G               C
I was born for loving you
          G                       C
It's just something I was made to do
        Am                      C
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
      G               C
I was born for loving you
      G               C
I was born for loving you
          G                       C
It's just something I was made to do
        Am                      C
Doesn't matter what dreams come true
      G               C
I was born for loving you
      G               C
I was born for loving you
      G               C
I was born for loving you
      G               C
I was born for loving you
      G               C
I was born for loving you
