(Verse 1)
[D]Salt air, and the ru[G]rust on your d[Em]door
I never needed anything mo[A]more
[D]Whispers [G]of "Are you su[Em]you sure?"
Never have I ever be[A]ever before
(Chorus)
But [D]I can see us lost in the memory
Au[G]August slipped away into a moment in t[Em]time
'Cause it was never mi[A]mine
And [D]I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
Au[G]August sipped away like a bottle of wi[Em]wine
'Cause you were never mi[A]mine
(Verse 2)
Yo[D]ur back bene[G]ath the su[Em]n
Wishin' I could write my name [A]on it
Wi[D]Will you call wh[G]when you're back at [Em]school?
I remember thinkin' I [A]had you
(Chorus)
But [D]I can see us lost in the memory
Au[G]August slipped away into a moment in t[Em]time
'Cause it was never mi[A]mine
And [D]I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
Au[G]August sipped away like a bottle of wi[Em]wine
'Cause you were never mi[A]mine
(Interlude)
[D] [G] [Em] [A]
(Bridge)
Ba[D]Back when we were still changin' for the bet[G]better
Wanting was enou[Em]enough
For me, it was e[A]enough
To live for the h[D]hope of it all
Canceled plans just in ca[G]case you'd call
And say "Me[Em]"Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer l[A]love and saying "Us"
'Cause you weren't m[D]mine to lo[G]lose
You were[Em]weren't mine to lose, o[A]oh
(Chorus)
But [D]I can see us lost in the memory
Au[G]August slipped away into a moment in t[Em]time
'Cause it was never mi[A]mine
And [D]I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
Au[G]August sipped away like a bottle of wi[Em]wine
'Cause you were never mi[A]mine
(Outro)
'C[D]'Cause you were never m[G]mine
Never m[Em]mine
But do you reme[A]remember
Reme[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then can[G]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
B[Em]Back when I was livin' for
the hope of it all, for the hop[A]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the m[D]mall"
Rem[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canc[G]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
Ba[Em]Back when I was livin' for the hope
of it all, for the ho[A]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the ma[D]mall"
Reme[D]Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then canc[G]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
Ba[Em]Back when I was livin' for the ho[A]hope
of it all (For the hope of it all)
For the h[D]hope of it all, for the ho[G]hope of it all
(For the ho[Em]hope of it all, for the hope[A]hope of it all)
(Outro fades out)
