D G Em
Salt air, and the rust on your 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 Em
August slipped away into a moment in time
A
'Cause it was never mine
D
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
G Em
August sipped away like a bottle 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 Em
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you
Bm
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
Bm
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
G Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
A
'Cause you were never mine
( D G Em A )
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
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
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 twisted in bedsheets
G Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
A
'Cause you were never mine
D G Em
'Cause you were never mine, 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
"Meet me behind the mall"
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
For the hope of it all
G
For the hope of it all
Em
(For the hope of it all)
A
(For the hope of it all)
( D G Em A )
( D G Em A )
( D G Em A )
( D G Em A )
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
And you know damn well
D
For you, I would ruin myself
G
A million little times
