A song from the past that is strangely enough appropriate for these times.

Great tab! This might be just a little thing, but the one thing that stands out here is the last line of the chorus. I believe the correct lyrics are "when I couldn't even talk to you" and not "and I couldn't even talk to you". I only mention it because it adds to the meaning of the song, I think. Good job though, thanks!
