Verse 1:
Db        Gbmaj7                Ebm7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Ebm
I never needed anything more
Db       Gbmaj7      Ebm7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Ebm
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    Db
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gbmaj7                               Ebm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Ab
'Cause it was never mine
    Db
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Gbmaj7                              Ebm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Ab
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
Db        Gbmaj7          Ebm7
Your back beneath the sun
                Ebm
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Db            Gbmaj7               Ebm7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Ebm
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    Db
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gbmaj7                               Ebm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Ab
'Cause it was never mine
    Db
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Gbmaj7                              Ebm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Ab
'Cause you were never mine

Bridge:
Db                                        Gbmaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Ebm
Wanting was enough
               Ab
For me, it was enough
                Db
To live for the hope of it all
                       Gbmaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Ebm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       Ab
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   Db            Gbmaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Ebm   Ab
You weren't mine to lose, oh

'Cause it was never mine
    Db
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Gbmaj7                              Ebm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Ab
'Cause you were never mine

But do you remember?
                Db
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
