Well this is my REAL first tab that I actually did myself...
I got the lyrics from azlyrics.com and then added in the chords.
This is an amazing song and it hasn't been tabbed apparently, so here it is!
If anything's not right, please let me know! :)

[INTRO:] Cadd9* G* A* D
Cadd9* G* A* D
[VERSE 1:]
D Cadd9
You walk in here with your guitar man
G A
Your shining boots and your full on band
Caddd9 D
A smile on your face, a knife in your hand
Cadd9* G* A* D
D Cadd9
Singing songs you've got memorized
G A
With whatever talent money buys
Cadd9 D
So polished that it slips right through your hands
[PRE-CHORUS:]
Cadd9 G D
But don't worry yourself I ain't your competition
Cadd9 G A
Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention
[CHORUS:]
D
I wanna talk about what you are that I ain't
Cadd9
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
G A D
Let's talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
D
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Cadd9
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
G D
Let's talk about what you want to be and who I've always been
Cadd9* G* A* D
[VERSE 2:]
D Cadd9
I walk in here with a beat up case
G A
The same guitar I've always played
D Cadd9
And the words I wrote down on a page,
G A
When I was 12 years old and small town raised
D Cadd9
You tell the crowd you're paying dues,
G A
I tell them, "this is what I do"
D Cadd9
And it?s what i put my life into,
G A
As I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume
[PRE-CHORUS:]
Cadd9 G D
And say life on musical road is rough conditions
Cadd9 G A
But the easy ride was never my ambition
[CHORUS:]
D
I wanna talk about what you are that I ain't
Cadd9
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
G A D
Let's talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
D
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Cadd9
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
G D
Let's talk about what you want to be and who I've always been
D Cadd9 G A
D Cadd9 G A
[BRIDGE:]
D Cadd9
Let's talk about your childhood days
G A
You were the prom queen, I was on this stage
D Cadd9
So where's that crown gotten you these days?
G A
When it's me and you and the same damn games
[CHORUS:]
D
So what have you got that I ain't?
Cadd9
And what can you do that I can't?
G A D
Let's put me and you in an empty room and see who wins
D
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Cadd9
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
G
Let's talk about who you want to be, girl
D
who I've always been
Cadd9* G* A* D
