Verse 1:
D        Gmaj7                Em7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Em
I never needed anything more
D       Gmaj7      Em7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Em
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    D
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gmaj7                               Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    A
'Cause it was never mine
    D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Gmaj7                              Em7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      A
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
D        Gmaj7          Em7
Your back beneath the sun
                Em
Wishin' I could write my name on it
D            Gmaj7               Em7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Em
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    D
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gmaj7                               Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    A
'Cause it was never mine
    D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Gmaj7                              Em7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      A
'Cause you were never mine
 
Interlude: D Gmaj7 Em A
 
Bridge:
D                                        Gmaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Em
Wanting was enough
               A
For me, it was enough
                D
To live for the hope of it all
                       Gmaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Em
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       A
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   D            Gmaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Em   A
You weren't mine to lose, oh
 
Chorus:
    D
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gmaj7                               Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    A
'Cause it was never mine
    D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Gmaj7                              Em7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      A
'Cause you were never mine
 
Outro:
D                     Gmaj7
'Cause you were never mine
      Em
Never mine
    A
But do you remember?
                D
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Gmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Em                                                    A
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    D
"Meet me behind the mall"
           D
-Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Gmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Em                                                    A
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    D
"Meet me behind the mall"-
         D
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Gmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Em                                                    A
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all -For the hope of it all-
                   D            Gmaj7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Em                              A                D Gmaj7 Em A -6x-
-For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all-
