WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | The All American Rejects - Gives You Hell Tabs | Ver. 2
I got the positioning/fretting idea and went from there.
There are some pretty good tabs out there, in fact I want to give credit to anyone who
parts in to try to make a complete tab. So basically, most is a re-interpretation of
others' tabs, but the new parts are completely by me and my ear. I know not all
instruments are guitar on this song, but this tab is meant to transcribe all parts into
guitar parts. AAR are a two guitar band so second guitar parts will be noted.

Bridge: These are the chords I use. You can mess around with how you
break them up/arpeggiate them, but this is the basic gist.
e|--7--------7-----------------|
b|--7---9----7---5-------------|
g|--8---9----8---6-------------|
d|--9---9----9---5-------------|
A|--9---7----9---7-------------|

b|---------------------------|---------------------|----------|
g|--9-9----------------------|--9-9----------------|----------|
d|--9-9--11-11--7-7--7-7-----|--9-9--9-9--7-7--7-7-|--x-7\6---|
A|--7-7--11-11--7-7--7-7-----|--7-7--9-9--7-7--7-7-|--x-7\6---|
E|--------9--9--5-5--5-5-----|-------7-7--5-5--5-5-|--x-5\4---|
Note: I've seen the music video and live footage and this is not the way they
play the chorus chords. But they are still the same chords, and I like this way better.
If you want to play it "accurately," shift the chords down to a lower part of the neck.
Mini-solo: 2nd Piano/Guitar plays Verse 1 underneath.

Second Bridge, Rhythm Guitar: Like the other bridge, these are the chords I use, but
it's up to you if you want to strum them or arpeggiate them. Find out what sounds
right to you. I've added vocal cues to help.
Now... ...you...me ...take...no...me

. . . . PM until drums/vocal breakdown.
Second Bridge, Lead Guitar: This was the hardest part for me to find out, but I think
I have it. This is what sets my tab apart from the others, no one has tabbed this yet.
Comes in at 2:29.
e|--16p12----12-(x4)--19p12----12-(x4)--17p12----12-(x4)--14~--------|

d|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
I contemplated tabbing this as tapping, as there are a few ways to do this, but I went
with arpeggios. Do it however you like, as long as it sounds right. This is my way.
Last Chorus: Very different! Listen closely.
