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

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

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#                        Gsus2Gsus2
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
