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