I found a slight mixup in the lyrics. The “you give yourself away” part should be after the instrumental break not after “through the storm” part.
I think the chords are right, but I found a mistake in the lyrics, it should be like this after “You give it all but I want more and I’ll wait for you”… :
With or without you, with or without you I–
D A Bm G
I can’t live– with or without you
D A Bm G
D A Bm G
And you give yourself away, and you give yourself away
D A
And you give, And you give,
Bm G
And you give yourself away
