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     E    F#m   D
Don’t like talking about it much
 A       E      F#m D
Don’t like to think of that time
A      E        F#m     D
We all got through, at least most of us did
  D        E
We almost lost our minds

 A       E         F#m    D
Everything was closed, there was nothing to do
A     E     F#m D
We didn’t go out at all
A        E      F#m      D
We watched the news, and it kept getting worse
 D           E
Waiting for the sky to fall


CHORUS:
  D          A  Asus4 A
We tried to get back to normal
   D          F#m
But “normal” was something new
 D              F#m
Starbucks was open, but the world was shut down
 D            E
Somehow we made our way through

   D            A  Asus4 A
Now looking in the rear view mirror
  D            F#m
I really don’t know what to say
 D             F#m
Let’s lift a glass, to the ones that have passed
     D     E  A
And the year that got away

VERSE:
A      E      F#m     D
We all had time, lots of time on our hands
 A        E    F#m    D
Some things were bad, and some were good
 A     E         F#m      D
Got caught up on things we`d been putting off
 D             E
Walked around the neighbourhood

A      E      F#m    D
As time went on there was no end in sight
A      E       F#m  D
We all knew something had changed
A      E        F#m    D
Even though we were all the same good people
   D            E
The whole world had been rearranged


CHORUS:

We tried to get back to normal

     D     E  A Asus4 A  A Asus4 A  A Asus4 A  A Asus4 A
And the year that got away


BREAK:
D          E         A Asus4 A  A Asus4 A
 I’ll never take a hug for granted again
A D         E          F#m  E
 But it’s still so strange to shake your han-a-and

VERSE:
 A     E      F#m D
And now we look to the future
 A      E      F#m D
What kind of world it will be
 A        E      F#m      D
Everything’s the same but it’s all different now
 D            E
Nothing is quite as carefree

 A     E       F#m     D
Let’s live every day like it was the last
 A      E     F#m    D
Let’s learn from it but let’s move on
 A     E     F#m     D
You never know what tomorrow may bring
 D
‘Cause you don’t know what you’re missing
 E
Til it’s gone
