	  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

But I can see us lost in the memory

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

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

G 
Don't call me "kid" 
Don't call me "baby" 
Em 
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

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

I can't speak with anyone else

For you, I would ruin myself 
    G 
A million little times
