[Verse 1]
D          G                     Em
  Salt air, and the rust on your door
                        A
I never needed anything more
D         G             Em
  Whispers of "Are you sure?"
                    A
Never have I ever before
 
 
[Chorus]
    D
But I can see us lost in the memory
  G                                   Em
August slipped away into a moment in time
                      A
'Cause it was never mine
    D
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
  G                                   Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                        A
'Cause you were never mine
 
 
[Verse 2]
  D           G         Em
Your back beneath the sun
                              A
Wishin' I could write my name on it
  D             G         
Will you call when you're 
Em
back at school?
A I remember thinkin' I had you [Chorus] D But I can see us lost in the memory G Em August slipped away into a moment in time A 'Cause it was never mine D And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets G Em August sipped away like a bottle of wine A 'Cause you were never mine [Interlude] D G Em A [Bridge] D Back when we were still changin'
G
for the better
Em Wanting was enough A For me, it was enough D To live for the hope of it all G 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 G '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 G Em August slipped away into a moment in time A 'Cause it was never mine D And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets G Em August sipped away like a bottle of wine A 'Cause you were never mine [Outro] D G '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"
G And then canceled my plans

just in case you'd call
Em Back when I was livin' for the
A
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"
G And then canceled my plans

just in case you'd call
Em Back when I was livin' for the
A
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"
G And then canceled my plans

just in case you'd call
Em Back when I was livin' for the
A
hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
D For the hope of it all, for the
G
hope of it all
Em (For the hope of it all,
A
for the hope of it all)
D G Em A
