D         G                 Am    
Salt  air, and  the rust on your   door
                         A    
 I never needed anything  more
         D            G              Am                  
Whispers  of  Are you  sure? A Nover   have I ever before
                       D              
 But I can see us lost  in the memory 
        G                              Am      
 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 
                A          
 Cause you were  never mine
     D     G            Am   
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?
                      A       
I remember thinkin' I  had you
                  Bm7                  
 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 
                          Bm7            
And I can see us twistin'    in bedsheets
         G                          Em       
 August   sipped away like a bottle   of wine
               A          
Cause you were  never mine
     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 
                  D        G    
Cause you weren't  mine to  lose
                 Em         A  
You weren't mine   to lose,  no
                 Bm7                  
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 
                          Bm7            
And I can see us twistin'    in bedsheets
         G                          Em       
 August   sipped away like a bottle   of wine
               A          
Cause you were  never mine
