[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]
    Bm7
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
    Bm7
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, no


[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
  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)
