Verse 1:
F Bb Gm
Salt air, and the rust on your door
C
I never needed anything more
F Bb Gm
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
C
"Never have I ever before"
Chorus:
F
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb Gm
August slipped away into a moment in time
C
'Cause it was never mine
F
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bb Gm
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
C
'Cause you were never mine
Verse 2:
F Bb Gm
Your back beneath the sun
C
Wishin' I could write my name on it
F Bb Gm
Will you call when you're back at school?
C
I remember thinkin' I had you
Chorus:
F
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb Gm
August slipped away into a moment in time
C
'Cause it was never mine
F
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

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

Bridge:
F Bb
Back when we were still changin' for the better
Gm
Wanting was enough
C
For me, it was enough
F
To live for the hope of it all
Bb
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
Gm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
C
So much for summer love and saying "us"
F Bb
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
Gm C
You weren't mine to lose, oh
Chorus:
F
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb Gm
August slipped away into a moment in time
C
'Cause it was never mine
F
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bb Gm
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
C
'Cause you were never mine
Outro:
F Bb
'Cause you were never mine
Gm
Never mine
C
But do you remember?
F
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Bb
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gm C
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
F
"Meet me behind the mall"
F
(Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Bb
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gm C
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall")
F
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Bb
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gm C
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
F Bb
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Gm C
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
