The Used – “Box Full Of Sharp Objects” 
                                            tabbed by Matt Miller

I’m pretty sure these guys tune down somewhat, but I did this for a guitar student in standard tuning.  This version is for one guitar, so in some places I tried to combine both guitar parts, so it may look a little weird/difficult, and this is probably NOT exactly how The Used play it, but it sounds really close to the song!
