[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) [Outro fades out] D G Em A
