August

Primeira Parte 

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 

Refrão 

    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 slipped away like a bottle of wine 
                        A 
'Cause you were never mine 

Segunda Parte 

  D           G         Em 
You're 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

Ponte 

  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, oh

'Cause you were never mine 
       Em 
Never mine 
               A 
But 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"

  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)
