F A# Gm Salt air, and the rust on your door I never needed anything more F A# Gm Whispers of "Are you sure?" Never have I ever before Chorus: F But I can see us lost in the memory A# Gm August slipped away into a moment in time C 'Cause it was never mine F And I can see us twistin' in bedsheets A# Gm August sipped away like a bottle of wine C 'Cause you were never mine Your back beneath the sun Wishin' I could write my name on it Will you call when you're back at school? I remember thinkin' I had you Chorus F A# Back when we were still changin' for the better Gm Wanting was enough C For me, it was enough F To live for the hope of it all A# Canceled plans just in case you'd call Gm And say "Meet me behind the mall" C So much for summer love and saying "Us" F A# 'Cause you weren't mine to lose Gm C You weren't mine to lose, oh Chorus F A# 'Cause you were never mine Gm Never mine C But do you remember F Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car" A# And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call Gm Back when I was livin' C for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all F "Meet me behind the mall" 'Cause you were never mine Never mine But do you remember? Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car" And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
