Key: F

♫ Verse 1:
E        Asus2                 F#m11/C#
Salt air, and the rust on your door
               F#m11/C#
I never needed anything more-or
E       Asus2        F#m11/C#
Whispers of "Are you sure "
             F#m11/C#
"Never have I ever  before"



♫ Chorus: 
    E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Asus2                                F#m11/C#
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Bsus4
'Cause it was never mine
    E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Asus2                               F#m11/C#
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Bsus4
'Cause you were never mine

♫ Verse 2:
E           Asus2         F#m11/C#
  Your back   beneath the sun
                F#m11/C#
Wishin' I could write my name on it
E               Asus2                 F#m11/C#
  Will you call   when you're back at school?
           F#m11/C#
I remember thinkin' I had you

♫ Chorus: 
    E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Asus2                                F#m11/C#
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Bsus4
'Cause it was never mine
    E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Asus2                               F#m11/C#
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Bsus4
'Cause you were never mine

♫ Instrumental: 
E Asus2 F#m11/C# Bsus4

♫ Bridge: 
E                                        Asus2
Back when we were still changin' for the better
             F#m11/C#
Wanting was enough
               Bsus4
For me, it was enough
                E
To live for the hope of it all
                       Asus2
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
                             F#m11/C#
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
                       Bsus4
So much for summer love and saying "us"
                   E            Asus2
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
                    F#m11/C#   Bsus4
You weren't mine to lose, oh

♫ Chorus: 
    E
But I can see us lost in the memory
Asus2                                F#m11/C#
August slipped away into a moment in time
                    Bsus4
'Cause it was never mine
    E
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
Asus2                               F#m11/C#
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                      Bsus4
'Cause you were never mine

♫ Outro: 
E                    Asus2
      you were never mine
      F#m11/C#
Never mine
Bsus4
     Do you remember?
         E
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Asus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
F#m11/C#                                               Bsus4
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                    E
"Meet me behind the mall"
           Asus2
And then I canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
F#m11/C#                                               Bsus4
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

         E
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
         Asus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
F#m11/C#                                               Bsus4

                   E            Asus2  F#m11/C#    Bsus4
Meet me behind the mall
