Verse 1:
Fmaj7Fmaj7    F/Bb           G minorGm
   Salt air  and the rust on your door
            Fmaj7Fmaj7
I never needed anything more
    F/Bb      G minorGm
Whispers  of “Are you sure?”

“Never have I ever before”

Chorus:
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
But I  can see us lost in the memory
F/Bb                 Gm11Gm11            C majorC
August slipped away into a moment in time, because it was never mine
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
And I  can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away like a bottle of wine, because you were never mine

Verse 2:
Fmaj7Fmaj7     F/Bb        G minorGm                 Fmaj7Fmaj7
   Your back  beneath the sun; wishing I could write my name on it
       F/Bb          G minorGm
Will you call  when you’re back at school?

I remember thinking I had you

   Back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough
        C majorC
For me, it was enough

To live for the hope of it all, cancel plans just in case you’d call and say, “Meet me behind the mall”
G minorGm          C majorC                     Fmaj7Fmaj7  FF
 So much for summer love and saying “us,” because you weren’t mine to lose

  You weren’t mine to lose, no

     FF                           Bbsus2Bbsus2                   G minorGm
Remember when I pulled up and said, “Get in the car,” and then canceled my plans just in case you’d call, back
                         C5C5
when I was living for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

Meet me behind the mall
