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
F/Bb                                 Gm11                         C
August sipped away like a  bottle of wine, because you were never mine

     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

Chorus:

But I       can see us lost in the memory

And I       can see us twisted in bedsheets
Bbsus2                              Gm11                         C
August sipped away like a bottle of wine, because you were never mine

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”

  So much for summer love and saying “us,” because you weren’t mine to lose
Bb5                    Gm11  C
   You weren’t mine to lose, no

    F
But I can see us lost in the memory

August slipped away into a moment in time, because it was never mine
    F
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

 Because you were never mine, never mine

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

when I was living for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

Meet me behind the mall

when I was living for the hope of it all,  for the hope of it all,   for the hope of it all, for the hope of
it all
