August

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  


    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  
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  


    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 )  


  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

  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"

  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

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)
