Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Verse 1:
D MajorD                   G+G           E minorEm
Salt air, and the rust on your door
                          A augmentedA
I never needed anything more
D MajorD        G+G             E minorEm
Whispers of "Are you sure "
                     A augmentedA
Never have I ever before

Chorus:
    D MajorD
But I can see us lost in the memory
  G+G                                   E minorEm
August slipped away into a moment in time
                      A augmentedA
'Cause it was never mine
    D MajorD
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
  G+G                                   E minorEm
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
                        A augmentedA
'Cause you were never mine


Verse 2:
  D MajorD           G+G         E minorEm
You're back beneath the sun
                    A augmentedA
Wishin' I could write my name on it
  D MajorD             G+G                 E minorEm
Will you call when you're back at school?
       A augmentedA
I remember thinkin' I had you

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

'Cause you were never mine
       E minorEm
Never mine
               A augmentedA
But do you remember
    D MajorD
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
            G+G
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
 E minorEm                                                       A augmentedA

"Meet me behind the mall"
    D MajorD
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
             G+G
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
  E minorEm                             A augmentedA
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
         D MajorD                        G+G
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
