Verse 1:

D/F#                   Gsus2       Em7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
                          A7
I never needed anything more
D/F#        Gsus2        Em7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
                     A7
Never have I ever before

Chorus:
 D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
  Gsus2                               Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                      A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
  Gsus2                               Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
                        A7
'Cause you were never mine


Verse 2:

D/F#           Gsus2       Em7
You're back beneath the sun
                    A7
Wishin' I could write my name on it
D/F#             Gsus2                 Em7
Will you call when you're back at school?
       A7
I remember thinkin' I had you


Chorus:

 D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
  Gsus2                                   Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                      A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2                                   Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
                        A7
'Cause you were never mine


D/F# Gsus2 Em7 A7


Bridge:

D/F#                                 Gsus2
Back when we were still changin' for the better
                Em7
Wanting was enough
                A7
For me, it was enough
                 D/F#
To live for the hope of it all
                         Gsus2
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
           Em7
And say "Meet me behind the mall"
                    A7
So much for summer love and saying "Us"
                    D/F#        Gsus2
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
        Em7                 A7
You weren't mine to lose, oh


Chorus:

D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gsus2                                   Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
                      A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2                                   Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
                        A7
'Cause you were never mine


Outro:

 D/F#                    Gsus2
'Cause you were never mine
       Em7
Never mine
               A7
But do you remember
    D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
            Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
 Em7                                                       A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                     D/F#
"Meet me behind the mall"
   D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
             Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
  Em7                                                     A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                      D/F#
"Meet me behind the mall"
    D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
             Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
  Em7                             A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
         D/F#                        Gsus2
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           Em7                        A7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
         D/F#                        Gsus2
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           Em7                        A7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
