August chords by Taylor Swift

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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 slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A
'Cause you were never mine

Verse 2:
 D      G     Em
You're 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 slipped away like a bottle of wine
            A
'Cause you were never mine


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 slipped 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)
