Verse 1:
F         Dm                   Bbmaj7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               C
I never needed anything more
F       Dm             Bbmaj7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
                 C
Never have I ever before

Chorus:
F

But I can see us lost in the memory
Dm                             Bbmaj7
August slipped away into a moment in time
C
'Cause it was never mine
F
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
Dm                                    Bbmaj7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
C
'Cause you were never mine

Verse 2:
F          Dm             Bbmaj7
You're back beneath the sun
C
Wishin' I could write my name on it
F.            Dm                  Bbmaj7
Will you call when you're back at school?
C
I remember thinkin' I had you

Chorus:
Bbmaj7
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bbmaj7                                   Dm
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    C
'Cause it was never mine
Bbmaj7
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
Bbmaj7                                 Dm
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
C
'Cause you were never mine

Bridge:
F                                        Dm
Back when we were still changin' for the better
            Bbmaj7
Wanting was enough
Bbmaj7
For me, it was enough
                F
To live for the hope of it all
Dm
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
Bbmaj7
And say "Meet me behind the mall"
C
So much for summer love and saying "Us"
                   F       Dm
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
Bbmaj7                   C
You weren't mine to lose, oh



Chorus:
F
But I can see us lost in the memory
Dm                                   Bbmaj7
August slipped away into a moment in time
C
'Cause it was never mine
F
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
Dm                           Bbmaj7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
C
'Cause you were never mine



Outro:
F                    Dm
'Cause you were never mine
Bbmaj7
Never mine
C
But do you remember
F
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Dm
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
Bbmaj7                                             C
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
C
"Meet me behind the mall"
F
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
Dm
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
Bbmaj7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
C                  F                         Dm
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
Bbmaj7                      C
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
