[Verse 1]
D                          G                Em
Salt air, and the rust on your door
                                          A
I never needed anything more
D            G                  Em
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
                                A
Never have I ever before

[Chorus]
     D
But I can see us lost in the memory
    G                                                       Em
August slipped away into a moment in time
                                  A
'Cause it was never mine
       D
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
    G                                                   Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                                       A
'Cause you were never mine

[Verse 2]
    D                 G             Em
Your back beneath the sun
                                               A
Wishin' I could write my name on it
   D                  G                         Em
Will you call when you're back at school?
                                 A
I remember thinkin' I had you

[Chorus]
      D
But I can see us lost?in the memory
    G                                                       Em
August slipped away into a moment in time
                                  A
'Cause it was never mine
       D
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
    G                                                   Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                                       A
'Cause you were never mine

[Interlude]
D G Em A

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

[Chorus]
      D
But I can see us lost?in the memory
    G                                                       Em
August slipped away into a moment in time
                                  A
'Cause it was never mine
       D
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
    G                                                    Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
                                        A
'Cause you were never mine

[Outro]
   D                                G
'Cause you were never mine
            Em
Never mine
                          A
But do you remember
         D
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
                    G
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
  Em                                                                             A
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                                   D 
"Meet me behind the mall"
      D
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
                     G
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
  Em                                                                           A
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                                    D
"Meet me behind the mall"
         D
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
                      G
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
   Em                                         A
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
              D                                G
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
                Em                                A
(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
