[C]Salt air, and the [F]rust on your [Dm]door
I never needed anything [G]more
[C]Whispers [F]of "Are [Dm]you sure?"
Never have I [G]ever before
But [C]I can see us lost in the memory
[F]August slipped away into a moment in [Dm]time
'Cause it was never [G]mine
And [C]I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
[F]August sipped away like a bottle of [Dm]wine
'Cause you were never [G]mine
[C]Gray November
I've been down since [F]July
[C]Motion capture
Put me in a [F]bad light
[C]I replay my footsteps on each stepping [F]stone
Trying to find the one where I went [C]wrong
[C]Writing letters
Addressed to the [F]fire
And I was [C]catching my breath
[C]Staring out an open window
[F]Catching my death
And I [C]couldn't be sure
I had a feeling so [F]peculiar
[F]That this pain would be for
[C]Evermore [F]
[C]Back when we were still changin' for the [F]better
Wanting was [Dm]enough
For me, it was [G]enough
To live for the [C]hope of it all
Canceled plans just in [F]case you'd call
And say [Dm]"Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer [G]love and saying "Us"
'Cause you weren't [C]mine to [F]lose
You [Dm]weren't mine to lose, [G]oh
Can't not [G]think of all the cost [Am7]
And the things that will be lost [F]
Oh, can [G]we just get a pause? [Am7]
To be certain we'll be tall again [F]
Whether [G]weather be the frost [Am7]
Or the violence of the dog days [F]
I'm on [G]waves, out being tossed [Am7]
Is there a line that I could just go cross? [F]
And when I was shipwrecked
I [Am7]thought of you [F]
In the cracks of light [G]
I [Am7]dreamed of you [F]
It was real enough [G]
To get me through [F] [G]
I [Am7]swear
Is there a line that we could just go [C]
[C]You were there [F] [C] [F]
[C] [F] [Dm]
[F] [D]But do you [G]remember
[C]When I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [F]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Dm]Back when I was livin' for
the hope of it all, for the [G]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the [C]mall"
[C]I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [F]canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Dm]Back when I was livin' for the hope
of it all, for the [G]hope of it all
"Meet me behind the [C]mall" uhjh
[Dm]Back when I was livin' for the [G]hope
of it all (For the hope of it all)
For the [C]hope of it all, for the [F]hope of it all
(For the [Dm]hope of it all, for the [G]hope of it all)
