Remove AdsGiving Up - The Used
♥ From their 2023 album Toxic Positivity ♥
I heard this song for the first time when I saw them play Manchester in December 2023 and I just completely
fell in love. It's really simple to play and sounds great acoustic! I've added one of the strumming patterns I
use, but you can play around with it and some parts can be palm-muted too :)
