august

Verse 1:
A        Dmaj7                Bm7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Bm
I never needed anything more
A       Dmaj7      Bm7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Bm
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    A
But I can see us lost in the memory
Dmaj7                               Bm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    E
'Cause it was never mine
    A
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Dmaj7                              Bm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      E
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
A        Dmaj7          Bm7
Your back beneath the sun
                Bm
Wishin' I could write my name on it
A            Dmaj7               Bm7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Bm
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    A
But I can see us lost in the memory
Dmaj7                               Bm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    E
'Cause it was never mine
    A
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Dmaj7                              Bm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      E
'Cause you were never mine
 
Interlude: A Dmaj7 Bm E
 
Bridge:
A                                        Dmaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Bm
Wanting was enough
               E
For me, it was enough
                A
To live for the hope of it all
                       Dmaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Bm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       E
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   A            Dmaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Bm   E
You weren't mine to lose, oh
 
Chorus:
    A
But I can see us lost in the memory
Dmaj7                               Bm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    E
'Cause it was never mine
    A
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Dmaj7                              Bm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      E
'Cause you were never mine
 
Outro:
A                     Dmaj7
'Cause you were never mine
      Bm
Never mine
    E
But do you remember?
                A
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Dmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Bm                                                    E
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    A
"Meet me behind the mall"
           A

                    A
"Meet me behind the mall"-

Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

Bm                                                    E
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all -For the hope of it all-
                   A            Dmaj7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
