Verse 1:
G        Cmaj7                Am7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Am
I never needed anything more
G       Cmaj7      Am7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Am
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    G
But I can see us lost in the memory
Cmaj7                               Am7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    D
'Cause it was never mine
    G
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Cmaj7                              Am7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      D
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
G        Cmaj7          Am7
Your back beneath the sun
                Am
Wishin' I could write my name on it
G            Cmaj7               Am7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Am
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    G
But I can see us lost in the memory
Cmaj7                               Am7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    D
'Cause it was never mine
    G
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Cmaj7                              Am7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      D
'Cause you were never mine
 
Interlude: G Cmaj7 Am D
 
Bridge:
G                                        Cmaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Am
Wanting was enough
               D
For me, it was enough
                G
To live for the hope of it all
                       Cmaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Am
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       D
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   G            Cmaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Am   D
You weren't mine to lose, oh
 
Chorus:
    G
But I can see us lost in the memory
Cmaj7                               Am7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    D
'Cause it was never mine
    G
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Cmaj7                              Am7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      D
'Cause you were never mine
 
Outro:
G                     Cmaj7
'Cause you were never mine
      Am
Never mine
    D
But do you remember?
                G
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Cmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Am                                                    D
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    G
"Meet me behind the mall"
           G
-Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Cmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Am                                                    D
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    G
"Meet me behind the mall"-
         G
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Cmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Am                                                    D
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all -For the hope of it all-
                   G            Cmaj7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Am                              D                G Cmaj7 Am D -6x-
-For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all-
