Capo di fret 5
[C] salt air[F], and the rust on your [Dm]door
I never needed [Dm]anything more
[C] whispers[F], of “Are you s[Dm]ure?”
“never have I [Dm]ever before”..
Chorus
but [C]I can see us lost in the memory
[F]august slipped away
[Dm]
into a moment in time
‘cause it was never [G]mine..
and [C]I can see us twisted in bedsheets
[F]august sipped away
like a bottle of [Dm]wine
‘cause you were never [G]mine..
[C] Your back[F], beneath the [Dm]sun
wishin’ I could [Dm]write my name on it
[C] will you call,
[F] when you’re back at [Dm]school?
I remember [Dm]thinkin’ I had you..
Chorus
but [Am]I can see us lost in the memory
[F]august slipped away
[Dm]
into a moment in time
‘cause it was never [G]mine..
and [Am]I can see us twisted in bedsheets
[F]august sipped away
like a bottle of [Dm]wine
‘cause you were never [G]mine..
Interlude
[C] [F] [Dm] [G]
[C] back when we were still changin’
for the [F]better
wanting was e[Dm]nough
for me, it was e[G]nough..
to live for the [C]hope of it all
canceled plans just in [F]case you’d call
and say, “meet me behind the [Dm]mall”
so much for summer [G]love and saying “us”
‘cause you weren’t m[C]ine..to lose
[F] You weren’t mine to [Dm]lose, [G]oh..
Chorus
but [C]I can see us lost in the memory

like a bottle of [Dm]wine
‘cause you were never [G]mine..

never [Dm]mine..
