Transpose
Verse 1
F
Salt air
A#
And the rust on your
Gm
door
I never needed anything more
F
Whispers
A#
Of “Are you
Gm
sure?”
“Never have I ever before”
Chorus
But
F
I can see us lost in the memory
A#
August slipped away into a moment in
Gm
time
‘Cause it was never
C
mine
And
F
I can see us twisted in bedsheets
A#
August sipped away
Like a bottle of
Gm
wine
‘Cause you were never
C
mine
Verse 2
F
Your back
A#
beneath the sun
Gm
Wishing I could write my name on it
F
Will you call
A#
when you’re back at
Gm
school?
I remember thinking I had you
Chorus
But
Dm
I can see us lost in the memory
A#
August slipped away into a moment in
Gm
time
‘Cause it was never
C
mine
And
Dm
I can see us twisted in bedsheets
A#
August sipped away
Like a bottle of
Gm
wine
‘Cause you were never
C
mine
Instrumental
F
A#
Gm
C
Bridge
F
Back when we were still changing for the
A#
better
Wanting was enough
Gm
For me, it was enough
C
To live for the
F
hope of it all
Cancel plans just in
A#
case you’d call
And say “Meet me behind the mall”
Gm
So much for summer
C
love, and saying “Us”
‘Cause you weren’t
F
mine to lose
A#
You weren’t mine to
Gm
lose
C
No
Chorus
But
F
I can see us lost in the memory
A#
August slipped away into a moment in
Gm
time
‘Cause it was never
C
mine
And
F
I can see us twisted in bedsheets
A#
August sipped away
Like a bottle of
Gm
wine
‘Cause you were never
C
mine,
mine
Post-chorus
F
’Cause you were never
A#
mine
Never
Gm
mine
C
Do you remember?
Remember
F
when I pulled up
And said “Get in the car”
And then
A#
canceled my plans
Just in case you’d call?
Gm
Back when I was living for the hope of it all
For the
C
hope of it all
”Meet me behind the mall”
(Re
F
member when I pulled up)
(And said “Get in the car”)
(And
A#
then canceled my plans)
(Just in case you’d call?)
(Back
Gm
when I was living for the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)
C
(“Meet me behind the mall”)
Post-chorus
Remember
F
when I pulled up
And said “Get in the car”
And then
A#
canceled my plans
Just in case you’d call?
Gm
Back when I was living for the hope of it all
(For the
C
hope of it all)
For the hope of it
F
all
For the
A#
hope of it all
For the
Gm
hope of it all
For the
C
hope of it all
