FOR YOU
Bruce Springsteen

VERSE 1:
F                  Am       Bb   C     Dm
Princess cards she sends me with her regards
   Gm                  Dm         Bb                     C
Oh bar-room eyes shine vacancy to see her you gotta look hard
F               Am             Bb                C         Dm
Wounded deep in battle I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
       Gm                 Dm                   Bb         C      Bb Am Gm7
To her Chesire smile I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted
        Bb            C                F            Am
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
      Bb              C       F      Am
Honey get your carpet baggers off my back
             Bb           C       F        Am
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
          F                            C
You said "Here's your mirror, and your ball and jacks"
    F                       C            F                 C
But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too

CHORUS:
C          Dm      Am   Gm7        Bb
I came for you for you, I came for you
C       Dm
But you did not need my urgency
C          Dm      Am   Gm7        Bb
I came for you for you, I came for you
C        Dm
But your life was one long emergency
         Bb/F             F           Bb/F                F C
And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free

VERSE 2:
   F             Am              Bb       C       Dm
Oh crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
     Gm                Dm                   Bb                         C
Oh reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak
              F                  Am       Bb         C      Dm
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
    Gm              Dm                Bb             C   Bb Am Gm7
But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask
             Bb            C            F                 Am
Oh and don't call for your surgeon even he say's it's too late
              Bb         C               F                     Am
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
      Bb         C               F             Am
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
             F                  C
You and your pony face and your union jack
     F                         C
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act
  F                               C
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked
F                  C
Didn't you think I knew...

CHORUS:
C             Dm            Am         Gm7 Bb
That you were born with the power of a locomotive
C       Dm
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
C        Dm         Am        Gm7         Bb
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
C         Dm                              Bb/F   F   Bb/F   F
You could laugh and cry in a single sound

BRIDGE:
         C                              Bb                F
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
  C                                         Bb                C
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god

VERSE 3:
F                  Am                   Bb               C      Dm
You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
   Gm                 Dm                      Bb               C
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
        F                    Am                  Bb  C           Dm
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
           Gm            Dm                Bb                  C     Bb Am Gm7
Yeah, that ragged jagged melody, she still clings to me like a leech
         Bb                     C            F          Am
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
       Bb                 C         F               Am
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
        F                                 C
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ears tuned to the roar
        F                           C
Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien distant shore
       F                                     C
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
                  F               C
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
             F                        C
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
           F                                C
Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
    F                       C
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
    F                      C
And you should know that's true

CHORUS:
C          Dm      Am   Gm7        Bb
I came for you for you, I came for you
C       Dm
But you did not need my urgency
C          Dm      Am   Gm7        Bb
I came for you for you, I came for you
C        Dm
But your life was one long emergency
         Bb/F             F              Bb/F           F
And your cloud line urges me, oh and my electric surges free
