Verse 1:
C        Fmaj7                Dm7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Dm
I never needed anything more
C       Fmaj7      Dm7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Dm
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    C
But I can see us lost in the memory
Fmaj7                               Dm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    G
'Cause it was never mine
    C
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Fmaj7                              Dm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      G
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
C        Fmaj7          Dm7
Your back beneath the sun
                Dm
Wishin' I could write my name on it
C            Fmaj7               Dm7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Dm
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    C
But I can see us lost in the memory
Fmaj7                               Dm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    G
'Cause it was never mine
    C
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Fmaj7                              Dm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      G
'Cause you were never mine
 
Interlude: C Fmaj7 Dm G
 
Bridge:
C                                        Fmaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Dm
Wanting was enough
               G
For me, it was enough
                C
To live for the hope of it all
                       Fmaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Dm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       G
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   C            Fmaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Dm   G
You weren't mine to lose, oh
 
Chorus:
    C
But I can see us lost in the memory
Fmaj7                               Dm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    G
'Cause it was never mine
    C
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Fmaj7                              Dm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      G
'Cause you were never mine
 
Outro:
C                     Fmaj7
'Cause you were never mine
      Dm
Never mine
    G
But do you remember?
                C
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Fmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Dm                                                    G
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    C
"Meet me behind the mall"
           C
-Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Fmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Dm                                                    G
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    C
"Meet me behind the mall"-
         C
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Fmaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Dm                                                    G
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all -For the hope of it all-
                   C            Fmaj7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Dm                              G                C Fmaj7 Dm G -6x-
-For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all-
