Verse 1:
B        Emaj7                Dbm7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               Dbm
I never needed anything more
B       Emaj7      Dbm7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             Dbm
"Never have I ever  before"
 
Chorus:
    B
But I can see us lost in the memory
Emaj7                               Dbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Gb
'Cause it was never mine
    B
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Emaj7                              Dbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Gb
'Cause you were never mine
 
Verse 2:
B        Emaj7          Dbm7
Your back beneath the sun
                Dbm
Wishin' I could write my name on it
B            Emaj7               Dbm7
Will you call when you're back at school?
           Dbm
I remember thinkin' I had you
 
Chorus:
    B
But I can see us lost in the memory
Emaj7                               Dbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Gb
'Cause it was never mine
    B
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Emaj7                              Dbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Gb
'Cause you were never mine

Bridge:
B                                        Emaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Dbm
Wanting was enough
               Gb
For me, it was enough
                B
To live for the hope of it all
                       Emaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Dbm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       Gb
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   B            Emaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Dbm   Gb
You weren't mine to lose, oh
 
Chorus:
    B
But I can see us lost in the memory
Emaj7                               Dbm7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Gb
'Cause it was never mine
    B
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Emaj7                              Dbm7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Gb
'Cause you were never mine

But do you remember?
