August chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 6)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Fmaj7    F/Bb           Gm
   Salt air  and the rust on your door
            Fmaj7
I never needed anything more
    F/Bb      Gm
Whispers  of “Are you sure?”

“Never have I ever before”

Chorus:
  Fmaj7
But I  can see us lost in the memory
F/Bb                 Gm11            C
August slipped away into a moment in time, because it was never mine
  Fmaj7
And I  can see us twisted in bedsheets

August sipped away like a bottle of wine, because you were never mine

Verse 2:
Fmaj7     F/Bb        Gm                 Fmaj7
   Your back  beneath the sun; wishing I could write my name on it
       F/Bb          Gm
Will you call  when you’re back at school?

I remember thinking I had you

Fmaj7 F Bb5 Gm11 C

Bridge:
Fmaj7         F           Bb         Gm
   Back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough
        C
For me, it was enough
        F                  Bb
To live for the hope of it all, cancel plans just in case you’d call and say, “Meet me behind the mall”
Gm          C                     Fmaj7  F
 So much for summer love and saying “us,” because you weren’t mine to lose

  You weren’t mine to lose, no

 Because you were never mine, never mine
C
 Do you remember?
     F                           Bbsus2                   Gm
Remember when I pulled up and said, “Get in the car,” and then canceled my plans just in case you’d call, back
                         C5
when I was living for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

Meet me behind the mall

Meet me behind the mall
     F                           Bbsus2                   Gm
