Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
FF     Bb majorBb           G minorGm
 Salt air, and the rust on your door
        C majorC
I never needed anything more
FF    Bb majorBb      G minorGm
 Whispers of "Are you sure?"
       C majorC
"Never have I ever before"


Chorus:
  FF
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb majorBb                  G minorGm
August slipped away into a moment in time
          C majorC
'Cause it was never mine
  FF
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bb majorBb                 G minorGm
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
           C majorC
'Cause you were never mine

Verse 2:
FF     Bb majorBb      G minorGm
 Your back beneath the sun
        C majorC
Wishin' I could write my name on it
FF       Bb majorBb          G minorGm
 Will you call when you're back at school?
      C majorC
I remember thinkin' I had you


Chorus:
  FF
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb majorBb                  G minorGm
August slipped away into a moment in time
          C majorC
'Cause it was never mine
  FF
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away like a bottle of wine
           C majorC
'Cause you were never mine

Bridge:
FF                     Bb majorBb
 Back when we were still changin' for the better
       G minorGm
Wanting was enough
        C majorC
For me, it was enough
        FF
To live for the hope of it all
            Bb majorBb
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
               G minorGm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
          C majorC
So much for summer love and saying "us"
          FF      Bb majorBb
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
          G minorGm  C majorC
You weren't mine to lose, oh

Chorus:
  FF
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb majorBb                  G minorGm
August slipped away into a moment in time
          C majorC
'Cause it was never mine
  FF
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bb majorBb                 G minorGm
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
           C majorC
'Cause you were never mine

 'Cause you were never mine

 But do you remember?

Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
     Bb majorBb
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?

Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

"Meet me behind the mall"
