NOTE: In this Song/Video you can clearly see that ther are multiple guitars
playing this song. The first tab I have is without a capo and includes
the lead guitar part as well as one of the acoustic guitar chords. The
second tab is with a capo on the second fret and is for the 2nd acoustic
guitar for perhaps easier chords. Please use whichever one is most
comfortable to you to use. I personally like playing this song without
a capo and alternate playing the lead guitar and acoustic.

VERSE:
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Don’t like talking about it much
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Don’t like to think of that time
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
We all got through, at least most of us did
D MajorD E MajorE
We almost lost our minds
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Everything was closed, there was nothing to do
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
We didn’t go out at all
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
We watched the news, and it kept getting worse
D MajorD E MajorE
Waiting for the sky to fall
CHORUS:
D MajorD A augmentedA 
Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
We tried to get back to normal
D MajorD F# minorF#m
But “normal” was something new
D MajorD F# minorF#m
Starbucks was open, but the world was shut down
D MajorD E MajorE
Somehow we made our way through
D MajorD A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Now looking in the rear view mirror
D MajorD F# minorF#m
I really don’t know what to say
D MajorD F# minorF#m
Let’s lift a glass, to the ones that have passed
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
And the year that got away

VERSE:
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
We all had time, lots of time on our hands
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Some things were bad, and some were good
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Got caught up on things we`d been putting off
D MajorD E MajorE
Walked around the neighbourhood
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
As time went on there was no end in sight
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
We all knew something had changed
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Even though we were all the same good people
D MajorD E MajorE
The whole world had been rearranged

I’ll never take a hug for granted again

VERSE:
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
And now we look to the future
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
What kind of world it will be
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Everything’s the same but it’s all different now
D MajorD E MajorE
Nothing is quite as carefree
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Let’s live every day like it was the last
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
Let’s learn from it but let’s move on
A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m D MajorD
You never know what tomorrow may bring
D MajorD
‘Cause you don’t know what you’re missing
E MajorE
Til it’s gone
