August / Illicit Affairs (Pot-Pourri)

D          G                  
  Salt air, and the rust on your 
    Em
door

I never needed anything more
D          G            Em
  Whispers of "Are you sure?"

"Never have I ever before"
    D
But I can see us lost in the memory
G                                 
August slipped away into a moment 
    Em
in time
                     A
'Cause it was never mine
    D
And I can see us twisted in 
bedsheets
G                                 
August sipped away like a bottle 
   Em
of wine
                       A
'Cause you were never mine

D        G             Em
Your back beneath the sun

Wishin' I could write my name on it
D             G                  
Will you call when you're back at
     Em
 school?

I remember thinkin' I had you

But I can see us lost in the memory

( D  G  Em  A )

D                                 
Back when we were still changin' 
           G
for the better
              Em
Wanting was enough
                  A
For me, it was enough

                 D
To live for the hope of it all
                      G
Cancel 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, no

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                                
Back when I was livin' for the 
                       A
hope of it all, for the hope of it 
all

"Meet me behind the mall"

hope of it all (for the hope of it 
all)
                   D
For the hope of it all

And you wanna scream
G
Don't call me "kid"
Don't call me "baby"
Em
Look at this godforsaken mess that 
you made me
C
You showed me colors
                  D
You know I can't see with anyone 
else

G
Don't call me "kid"
Don't call me "baby"
Em
Look at this idiotic fool that you 
made me
C
You taught me a secret language
                     D
I can't speak with anyone else

G
Don't call me "kid"
Don't call me "baby"
Em
Look at this godforsaken mess that 
you made me
C
You showed me colors
                            D
You know I can't see with anyone 
else

          Bm  Bm/A* C9
And you know damn well
                   D
For you, I would ruin myself
    G
A million little times
