[Verse] F Bb Gm Salt air, and the rust on your door C I never needed anything more F Bb Gm Whispers of "Are you sure?" C Never have I ever before
[Chorus] F But I can see us lost in the memory Bb Gm August slipped away into a moment in time C 'Cause it was never mine F And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets Bb Gm August sipped away like a bottle of wine C 'Cause you were never mine
[Verse] F Bb Gm Your back beneath the sun C Wishin' I could write my name on it F Bb Gm Will you call when you're back at school? C I remember thinkin' I had you
[Chorus] F But I can see us lost in the memory Bb Gm August slipped away into a moment in time C 'Cause it was never mine F And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets Bb Gm August sipped away like a bottle of wine C 'Cause you were never mine
[Interlude] F Bb Gm C
[Bridge] F Bb Back when we were still changin' for the better Gm Wanting was enough C For me, it was enough F To live for the hope of it all Bb Canceled plans just in case you'd call Gm And say "Meet me behind the mall" C So much for summer love and saying "Us" F Bb 'Cause you weren't mine to lose Gm C You weren't mine to lose, oh
[Chorus] F But I can see us lost in the memory Bb Gm August slipped away into a moment in time C 'Cause it was never mine F And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets Bb Gm August sipped away like a bottle of wine C 'Cause you were never mine
[Outro] F Bb 'Cause you were never mine Gm Never mine C But do you remember F Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car" Bb And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call Gm C Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all F "Meet me behind the mall" F Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car" Bb And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call Gm C Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all F "Meet me behind the mall" F Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car" Bb And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call Gm C Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all) F Bb For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all Gm C (For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all) F Bb Gm C
