August chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 2)

• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
F         Bb                     Gm
 Salt air, and the rust on your door
               C
I never needed anything more
F        Bb           Gm
 Whispers of "Are you sure?"
             C
"Never have I ever before"


Chorus:
    F
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb                                   Gm
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    C
'Cause it was never mine
    F
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bb                                  Gm
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      C
'Cause you were never mine

Verse 2:
F         Bb           Gm
 Your back beneath the sun
                C
Wishin' I could write my name on it
F             Bb                   Gm
 Will you call when you're back at school?
           C
I remember thinkin' I had you


Chorus:
    F
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb                                   Gm
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    C
'Cause it was never mine
    F
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bb                                  Gm
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      C
'Cause you were never mine

F Bb Gm C

Bridge:
F                                         Bb
 Back when we were still changin' for the better
             Gm
Wanting was enough
                C
For me, it was enough
                F
To live for the hope of it all
                       Bb
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             Gm
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                   C
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                    F            Bb
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    Gm    C
You weren't mine to lose, oh


Chorus:
    F
But I can see us lost in the memory
Bb                                   Gm
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    C
'Cause it was never mine
    F
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bb                                  Gm
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      C
'Cause you were never mine


Outro:
F                      Bb
 'Cause you were never mine
      Gm
Never mine
C
 But do you remember?
         F
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Bb
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gm                             C
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    F
"Meet me behind the mall"
F
(Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Bb
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gm                             C
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

"Meet me behind the mall")
         F
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Bb
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Gm                             C
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
                   F            Bb
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
         Gm                      C
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
