Verse 1:
Gb        Bmaj7                Abm7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Abm
I never needed anything more
Gb       Bmaj7      Abm7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Abm
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    Gb
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bmaj7                               Abm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Db
'Cause it was never mine
    Gb
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bmaj7                              Abm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Db
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
Gb        Bmaj7          Abm7
Your back beneath the sun
                Abm
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Gb            Bmaj7               Abm7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Abm
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    Gb
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bmaj7                               Abm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Db
'Cause it was never mine
    Gb
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bmaj7                              Abm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Db
'Cause you were never mine

Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Abm
Wanting was enough
               Db
For me, it was enough
                Gb
To live for the hope of it all
                       Bmaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Abm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       Db
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   Gb            Bmaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Abm   Db
You weren't mine to lose, oh

But do you remember?
