August x The Great War [August Verse]
D          G                    Em7
Salt air, and the rust on your door

                Em
I never needed anything more

D         G               Em7
Whispers of „Are you sure?“

                   Em
„Never have I ever before“
[August Chorus]
     D
But I can see us lost in the memory

G                                        Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time

                      A
’Cause it was never mine

     D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

G                                   Em7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine

                        A
’Cause you were never mine
[August Verse]
D          G                 Em7
Your back beneath the sun

                Em
Wishin’ I could write my name on it

D              G                           Em7
Will you call when you’re back at school?

                Em
I remember thinkin’ I had you
[August Chorus]
     D
But I can see us lost in the memory

G                                        Em7
August slipped away into a moment in time

                      A
’Cause it was never mine

     D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

G                                   Em7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine

                        A
’Cause you were never mine
[The Great War Verse]
D                    Em7                      G
My knuckles were bruised like violets

                 D
Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked

                Em7             G
Spineless in my tomb of silence

                     D                          D
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground

                   Em7              G
And maybe it was egos swinging

              D
Maybe, it was her

               Em7                          G     D
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[The Great War Chorus]
          Cadd9
All that blood shed, crimson clover

    G
Uh-huh, sweet dream was over

   Em7                         D
My hand was the one you reached for

                        Cadd9
All throughout the Great War

                     G
Always remember uh-huh, tears on the letter

  Em7                   D
I vowed not to cry anymore

                        D        G    Em   A
If we survived the Great War
D G Em A [August 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    Em  A
’Cause you weren’t mine to lose
[The Great War Bridge]
                 G
It turned into something bigger

Em7               D                             Am
Somewhere in the haze got a sense I’ve been betrayed

                  G
Your finger on my hair pin triggers

Em7                                     D                         Am
Soldier down on that icy ground, looked up at me with honor and truth

              G                       Em7
Broken and blue, so I called off the troops

              D                 Am
That was the night I nearly lost you

G               Em7      A
I really thought I lost you
[August Outro]
              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 living for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

                        D
„Meet me behind the mall“
D G Em A [August Chorus]
       D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

G                                   Em7
August sipped away like a bottle of wine

                        D
’Cause you were never mine
[The Great War Chorus]
                        Cadd9
All throughout the Great War

                     G
Always remember uh-huh, tears on the letter

  Em7                   D
I vowed not to cry anymore

                        Cadd9
If we survived the Great War
