If you haven't guessed The Used is my favorite band and I have dedicated myself
to learn their music 100% correctly!  So here is my second favorite to "On My
Own" their beautiful and easy to play "Poetic Tragedy"!

Standard Tuning (optional D)E-A-D-G-B-E  (drop D if you like...it sounds the same)

Verse

The cup is not half empty as pessimists say.....
