Chords
[Verse 1]
[D]Salt [G]air, and the rust [Em]on your door
I never needed any[A]thing more
[D]Whispers [G]of "Are you [Em]sure?"
Never have I ever [A]before
[Chorus]
But [D]I can see us lost in the memory
[G]August slipped away into a moment in [Em]time
'Cause it was never [A]mine
And [D]I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
[G]August sipped away like a bottle of [Em]wine
'Cause you were never [A]mine
[Verse 2]
[D]Your [G]back beneath the [Em]sun
Wishin' I could write my name [A]on it
[D]Will you [G]call when you're back at [Em]school?
I remember thinkin' I [A]had you
[Chorus]
But [Bm7]I can see us lost in the memory
[G]August slipped away into a moment in [Em]time
'Cause it was never [A]mine
And [Bm7]I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
[G]August sipped away like a bottle of [Em]wine
'Cause you were never [A]mine
[Interlude]
[D] [G] [Em] [A]
[Bridge]
[D]Back when we were still changin' for the [G]better
Wanting was e[Em]nough
For me, it was e[A]nough
[D]To live for the hope of it all
[G]Canceled plans just in case you'd call
And [Em]say "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "[A]Us"
'Cause you weren't [D]mine to [G]lose
You weren't [Em]mine to [A]lose, no
[Chorus]
But [D]I can see us lost in the memory
[G]August slipped away into a moment in [Em]time
'Cause it was never [A]mine
And [D]I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
[G]August sipped away like a bottle of [Em]wine
'Cause you were never [A]mine
[Outro]
[D]'Cause you were never [G]mine
Never [Em]mine
[A]Do you remember
[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
[G]And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Em]Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the [A]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the [D]mall"
[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
[G]And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Em]Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the [A]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the [D]mall"
[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
[G]And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Em]Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
[A]For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
[D] [G] [Em] [A] x5
