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


Chorus:
  D MajorD
But I can see us lost in the memory
 G+G                  E minorEm
August slipped away into a moment in time

'Cause it was never mine
  D MajorD
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets

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


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

August slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A augmentedA
'Cause you were never mine


Outro:
 D MajorD          G+G
'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
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           D MajorD

Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           D MajorD
"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
      E minorEm            A augmentedA
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
