[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 Em
Will you call when you're 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 G
Back when we were still changin' 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 A
Back when I was livin' for the 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 A
Back when I was livin' for the 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 A
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
D G
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Em A
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
[Outro fades out]
