Verse 1:

D/F#          Gsus2    Em7
Salt air, and the rust on your door
             A7
I never needed anything more
D/F#    Gsus2    Em7
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
           A7
Never have I ever before

Chorus:
 D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
 Gsus2                Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
           A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2                Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A7
'Cause you were never mine


Verse 2:

D/F#      Gsus2    Em7
You're back beneath the sun
          A7
Wishin' I could write my name on it
D/F#       Gsus2         Em7
Will you call when you're back at school?
    A7
I remember thinkin' I had you


Chorus:

 D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
 Gsus2                  Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
           A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2                  Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A7
'Cause you were never mine


D/F# Gsus2 Em7 A7


Bridge:

D/F#                 Gsus2
Back when we were still changin' for the better
        Em7
Wanting was enough
        A7
For me, it was enough
         D/F#
To live for the hope of it all
             Gsus2
Canceled plans just in case you'd call
      Em7
And say "Meet me behind the mall"
          A7
So much for summer love and saying "Us"
          D/F#    Gsus2
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
    Em7         A7
You weren't mine to lose, oh


Chorus:

D/F#
But I can see us lost in the memory
Gsus2                  Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time
           A7
'Cause it was never mine
 D/F#
And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
 Gsus2                  Em7
August slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A7
'Cause you were never mine


Outro:

 D/F#          Gsus2
'Cause you were never mine
    Em7
Never mine
        A7
But do you remember
  D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
      Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
 Em7                            A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           D/F#
"Meet me behind the mall"
  D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
       Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
 Em7                           A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
           D/F#
"Meet me behind the mall"
  D/F#
Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
       Gsus2
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call
 Em7               A7
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
     D/F#            Gsus2
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
      Em7            A7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
     D/F#            Gsus2
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
      Em7            A7
For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
