Verse 1:

D/F#D/F#          Gsus2Gsus2    E minor 7Em7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
             A7A7
I never needed anything more
D/F#D/F#    Gsus2Gsus2    E minor 7Em7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
           A7A7
Never have I ever before

Chorus:
 D/F#D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
 Gsus2Gsus2                E minor 7Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
           A7A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2Gsus2                E minor 7Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A7A7
'Cause you were never mine


Verse 2:

D/F#D/F#      Gsus2Gsus2    E minor 7Em7
You're back beneath the sun
          A7A7
Wishin' I could write my name on it
D/F#D/F#       Gsus2Gsus2         E minor 7Em7
Will you call when you're back at school?
    A7A7
I remember thinkin' I had you


Chorus:

 D/F#D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
 Gsus2Gsus2                  E minor 7Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
           A7A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2Gsus2                  E minor 7Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A7A7
'Cause you were never mine

D/F#D/F# Gsus2Gsus2 E minor 7Em7 A7A7


Bridge:

D/F#D/F#                 Gsus2Gsus2
Back when we were still changin' for the better
        E minor 7Em7
Wanting was enough
        A7A7
For me, it was enough
         D/F#D/F#
To live for the hope of it all
             Gsus2Gsus2
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
      E minor 7Em7
And say "Meet me behind the mall"
          A7A7
So much for summer love and saying "Us"
          D/F#D/F#    Gsus2Gsus2
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
    E minor 7Em7         A7A7
You weren't mine to lose, oh


Chorus:

D/F#D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gsus2Gsus2                  E minor 7Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
           A7A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2Gsus2                  E minor 7Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A7A7
'Cause you were never mine


Outro:

 D/F#D/F#          Gsus2Gsus2
'Cause you were never mine
    E minor 7Em7
Never mine
        A7A7
But do you remember
  D/F#D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
      Gsus2Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
 E minor 7Em7                            A7A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           D/F#D/F#
"Meet me behind the mall"
  D/F#D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
       Gsus2Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
 E minor 7Em7                           A7A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           D/F#D/F#
"Meet me behind the mall"
  D/F#D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
       Gsus2Gsus2
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)
     D/F#D/F#            Gsus2Gsus2
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
      E minor 7Em7            A7A7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
     D/F#D/F#            Gsus2Gsus2
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
      E minor 7Em7            A7A7
