Chords
I know it says intermediate in the description, but only for the less common chord voicings I added to spice
it up a little for single-guitarist performance. It works just as well if you ignore them and just play the
top set of chords, I just think it sounds a little more interesting with some variation.
I personally play this in Nashville tuning (just the octave strings from a 12 string) but it sounds just fine
in Standard.
The chords in parentheses are also optional.

Em
[Chorus]
Em C Em I was born to love you Em C Em I was born to love you Am* C* Em* D* Palm to palm, breast to breast Am B11 Em Arm in arm, we're stumbling west
[Verse]
Em C Em We skinned our hands when we fell Em C Em Am* We washed them in the deep wells C* Limped our souls Em* D* We're bruised but blessed Am B11 Em Arm in arm, we're stumbling west
[Chorus]
C Em D And I was born to love you Am* C* Em* D* I was born to love you
[Bridge]
Em [let ring] (C) (Em) We danced beneath the moonrise (Em) (C) (Em) While stars are born in your eyes Am C Our rags are torn Em D Our hearts possessed Am B11 Em Arm in arm, we're stumbling west
[Chorus]
C Em D And I was born to love you Am C Em D I was born to love you Am* C* Em* D* Palm to palm, breast to breast C B11 Em Arm in arm, we're stumbling west
