Verse 1:
Ab        Dbmaj7                Bbm7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Bbm
I never needed anything more
Ab       Dbmaj7      Bbm7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Bbm
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    Ab
But I can see us lost in the memory
Dbmaj7                               Bbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Eb
'Cause it was never mine
    Ab
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Dbmaj7                              Bbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Eb
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
Ab        Dbmaj7          Bbm7
Your back beneath the sun
                Bbm
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Ab            Dbmaj7               Bbm7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Bbm
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    Ab
But I can see us lost in the memory
Dbmaj7                               Bbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Eb
'Cause it was never mine
    Ab
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Dbmaj7                              Bbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Eb
'Cause you were never mine
 
Interlude: Ab Dbmaj7 Bbm Eb
 
Bridge:
Ab                                        Dbmaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Bbm
Wanting was enough
               Eb
For me, it was enough
                Ab
To live for the hope of it all
                       Dbmaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Bbm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       Eb
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   Ab            Dbmaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Bbm   Eb
You weren't mine to lose, oh
 
Chorus:
    Ab
But I can see us lost in the memory
Dbmaj7                               Bbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Eb
'Cause it was never mine
    Ab
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Dbmaj7                              Bbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Eb
'Cause you were never mine
 
Outro:
Ab                     Dbmaj7
'Cause you were never mine
      Bbm
Never mine
    Eb
But do you remember?
                Ab
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Dbmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Bbm                                                    Eb
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    Ab
"Meet me behind the mall"
           Ab
-Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    Ab
"Meet me behind the mall"-
         Ab
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Dbmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Bbm                                                    Eb
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all -For the hope of it all-
                   Ab            Dbmaj7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Bbm                              Eb                Ab Dbmaj7 Bbm Eb -6x-
-For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all-
