august

Verse 1:
E        Amaj7                Gbm7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Gbm
I never needed anything more
E       Amaj7      Gbm7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Gbm
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7                               Gbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    B
'Cause it was never mine
    E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7                              Gbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      B
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
E        Amaj7          Gbm7
Your back beneath the sun
                Gbm
Wishin' I could write my name on it
E            Amaj7               Gbm7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Gbm
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7                               Gbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    B
'Cause it was never mine
    E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7                              Gbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      B
'Cause you were never mine
 
Interlude: E Amaj7 Gbm B
 
Bridge:
E                                        Amaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Gbm
Wanting was enough
               B
For me, it was enough
                E
To live for the hope of it all
                       Amaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Gbm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       B
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   E            Amaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Gbm   B
You weren't mine to lose, oh
 
Chorus:
    E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7                               Gbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    B
'Cause it was never mine
    E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7                              Gbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      B
'Cause you were never mine
 
Outro:
E                     Amaj7
'Cause you were never mine
      Gbm
Never mine
    B
But do you remember?
                E
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Amaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gbm                                                    B
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    E
"Meet me behind the mall"
           E
-Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gbm                                                    B
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    E
"Meet me behind the mall"-
         E
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Amaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gbm                                                    B
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all -For the hope of it all-
                   E            Amaj7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Gbm                              B                E Amaj7 Gbm B -6x-
-For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all-
