Born For Loving You
Big Thief
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em
After the first stars formed, after the dinos fell
C Dadd4add9
After the first light flickered out of this motel
G Em
1991 momma pushing like hell
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 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 2]
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 fuck
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
[Interlude]
G C G C Am C G C
[Verse 3]
G Em
When the hard times come and the hard times stay
C Dadd4add9
When they stick around and won't go away
G Em
When it seems there's nothing you 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
[Outro]
