August Chords

Lyrics & chords

Chord circle: [F] [Bb] [Gm] [C]

1. [F] Salt air, [Bb] and the rust on your [Gm] door
I never needed anything [C] more
[F] Whispers [Bb] of "Are you [Gm] sure?"
Never have I ever [C] before

Chorus: But [F] I can see us lost in the memory
[Bb] August slipped away into a moment in [Gm] time
'Cause it was never [C] mine
And [F] I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
[Bb] August sipped away like a bottle of [Gm] wine
'Cause you were never [C] mine

2. [F] Your back [Bb] beneath the [Gm] sun
Wishin' I could write my name [C] on it
[F] Will you call [Bb] when you're back at [Gm] school?
I remember thinkin' I [C] had you

Chorus: But [F] I can see us lost in the memory
[Bb] August slipped away into a moment in [Gm] time
'Cause it was never [C] mine
And [F] I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
[Bb] August sipped away like a bottle of [Gm] wine
'Cause you were never [C] mine

Bridge: [F] Back when we were still changin' for the [Bb] better
Wanting was [Gm] enough
For me, it was [C] enough
To live for the [F] hope of it all
Canceled plans just in [Bb] case you'd call
And say "Meet me behind the [Gm] mall"
So much for summer [C] love and saying "Us"
'Cause you weren't [F] mine to [Bb] lose
You weren't mine to [Gm] lose, [C] oh

Chorus: But [F] I can see us lost in the memory
[Bb] August slipped away into a moment in [Gm] time
'Cause it was never [C] mine
And [F] I can see us twistin' in bedsheets
[Bb] August sipped away like a bottle of [Gm] wine
'Cause you were never [C] mine

Outro: [F] 'Cause you were never [Bb] mine
Never [Gm] mine, but do you [C] remember
[F] Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [Bb] canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Gm] Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the [C] hope of it all

"Meet me behind the [F] mall"
[F] Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [Bb] canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Gm] Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the [C] hope of it all

"Meet me behind the [F] mall"
[F] Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"
And then [Bb] canceled my plans just in case you'd call
[Gm] Back when I was livin' for the [C] hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
For the [F] hope of it all, for the [Bb] hope of it all
(For the [Gm] hope of it all, for the hope [C] of it all)
