[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

'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?

I remember thinkin' I had you
[Chorus]

But I can see us lost in the memory

[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, no
[Chorus]

But I can see us lost in the memory

  'Cause you were never mine

       Em
Never mine

A
  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           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)
