(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
None

(Verse 1)
(D) Salt air, (G) and the rust on your (Em)door
I never needed anything more (A)
(D) Whispers (G) of "Are you sure?” (Em)
Never have I ever before (A)

(Chorus)
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

(Verse 2)
(D) Your back (G) beneath the sun (Em)
Wishin' I could write my name on (A)it
(D) Will you call (G) when you're back at school? (Em)
I remember thinkin' I had you (A)

(Chorus)
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

(Bridge)
(D) Back when we were still changin' for the (G)better
Wanting was enough, (D) for me, it was enough (A)
To live for the (D)hope of it all, canceled plans just in (G)case you'd call
And say "Meet me behind the mall” (Em)
So much for summer love (A) and saying "Us"
'Cause you weren't mine (D) to lose (G)
You weren't mine to (Em)lose, oh (A)

(Chorus)
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

(Outro.)
(D) 'Cause you were never (G)mine
Never (Em)mine, (A) but do you remember
Remember (D)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 mall"
Re-(D)member 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 mall"
Re-(D)member 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 (D)hope of it all)
For the hope of it all, (D) for the (G)hope of it all
(For the (Em)hope of it all, for the (A)hope of it all)

(Outro.)
