Hey there chicas! I REALLY REALLY like this song so I decided to tab it. Not sure of
verses...sounds more complicated, but it was the closest I could get to.
Tabber: Ashleefan
Intro:
 E5                    Asus  E5*
   E-0                  E-x
   B-0     2X           B-x
   G-2                  G-9
   D-2                  D-9
   A-0                  A-0
   E-x                  E-9
Verse1: (so sorry-- really don't know intro and beginning of first verse-sounds like
an alteration between the E5 and A5.)
Hey you, living for tomorrow
You sell your dreams for a bucket of change
Hey you, smoking up your sorrows
You're pointing fingers at someone to blame
E5*                      A5  
Hey you, you turn your back on your children
E5*                     A5  
It's left you in that big burning bed
E5*                 A5  
This life's like living in a gutter
E5*                    A5  
All this pain's just made you feel dead
Chorus:
You're just gE5iving it all, gB5iving it all aA5way
                          E5              B5   A5(let it ring)
You're just giving it all, giving it all away, hey, hey, hey yay yay!
Verse 2:
E5*               A5  
Slow down, just look a little closer
E5*                   A5  
You might find that it's not the end
E5*                    A5  
You wonder how your life can get better
E5*                          A5  
And you're alone, you just tear yourself down
Chorus 2:
You're just gE5iving it all, gB5iving it all aA5way
You're just gE5iving it all, gB5iving it all aA5way
You're just gE5iving it all, gB5iving it all aA5way 
You're just gE5iving it all, gB5iving it all aA5way, hey, hey a hey yay yay!
Bridge:
F#m               A5                  (plays in back)
Try to find your better half now      e--
F#m                A5 (let it ring)   b--
Open your eyes and find yourself      g--13\11~~~13-14\9  (2X)
                                      d--
Verse 3:
E5*         A5  
Hey girl screaming for attention
E5*                      A5  
Once you get it you'll throw it away
E5*                 A5  
I'm broken, I'm picking up the pieces
E5*               A5 (let it ring)
I won't live in all your mistakes
Chorus 3:
I'm just gE5iving it all, giB5ving it all aA5way
I'm just gE5iving it all, giB5ving it all aA5way
I'm just gE5iving it all, giB5ving it all aA5way
                        E5             B5                     A5(end on E5)
I'm just giving it all, giving it all away, hey yay yay yay yay yay yay yaayy
