Chords with lyrics (Ver. 3)

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

Verse 1:
E MajorE    Amaj7Amaj7         F#m7F#m7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
        F# minorF#m
I never needed anything more
E MajorE    Amaj7Amaj7    F#m7F#m7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
       F# minorF#m
"Never have I ever  before"

Chorus:
  E MajorE
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7Amaj7                F#m7F#m7
August slipped away into a moment in time
          BB
'Cause it was never mine
  E MajorE
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7Amaj7                F#m7F#m7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
           BB
'Cause you were never mine

Verse 2:
E MajorE    Amaj7Amaj7      F#m7F#m7
Your back beneath the sun
        F# minorF#m
Wishin' I could write my name on it
E MajorE      Amaj7Amaj7        F#m7F#m7
Will you call when you're back at school?
      F# minorF#m
I remember thinkin' I had you

Chorus:
  E MajorE
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7Amaj7                F#m7F#m7
August slipped away into a moment in time
          BB
'Cause it was never mine
  E MajorE
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7Amaj7                F#m7F#m7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
           BB
'Cause you were never mine

E MajorE Amaj7Amaj7 F# minorF#m BB

Bridge:
E MajorE                    Amaj7Amaj7
Back when we were still changin' for the better
       F# minorF#m
Wanting was enough
        BB
For me, it was enough
        E MajorE
To live for the hope of it all
            Amaj7Amaj7
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
               F# minorF#m
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
            BB
So much for summer love and saying "us"
          E MajorE      Amaj7Amaj7
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
          F# minorF#m  BB
You weren't mine to lose, oh

Chorus:
  E MajorE
But I can see us lost in the memory
Amaj7Amaj7                F#m7F#m7
August slipped away into a moment in time
          BB
'Cause it was never mine
  E MajorE
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Amaj7Amaj7                F#m7F#m7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
           BB
'Cause you were never mine

Outro:
E MajorE           Amaj7Amaj7
'Cause you were never mine
   F# minorF#m
Never mine
  BB
But do you remember?
        E MajorE
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
     Amaj7Amaj7
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
F# minorF#m                          BB
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
          E MajorE

For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
