Taylor Swift – august
Key: F Major BPM: ♩ = 90 Time: 4/4
|Fmaj7     |Bb                    |Gm                 |Gm      |
   Salt air,  and the rust on your door I never needed anything
 |Fmaj7       |Bb           |Gm                   |Gm          |
more, whispers,  of "Are you sure?”, ”Never have I ever before"

   |Fmaj7                           |Bb                                  |
But I can see us lost in the memory, August slipped away into a moment in
|Gm                      |C   |
 time, cause it was never mine
   |Fmaj7                             |Bb                                 |
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets, August sipped away like a bottle of
|Gm                        |C   |
 wine, cause you were never mine

|Fmaj7      |Bb           |Gm                  |Gm              |
   Your back   beneath the sun, wishing I could write my name on
|Fmaj7            |Bb                   |Gm                |Gm                |
 it, will you call   when you're back at school? I remember thinking I had you

   |Dm                              |Bb                                  |
But I can see us lost in the memory, August slipped away into a moment in
|Gm                      |C   |
 time, cause it was never mine
   |Dm                                |Bb                                 |
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets, August sipped away like a bottle of
|Gm                        |C   |
 wine, cause you were never mine

|Fmaj7     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |

|Fmaj7                                     |Bb     |Gm                                |C    |
   Back when we were still changing for the better, wanting was enough, for me it was enough
               |Fmaj7                               |Bb             |
To live for the hope of it all, cancel plans just in case you'd call
                           |Gm                       |C                    |
And say "Meet me behind the mall”, so much for summer love, and saying "Us"
                 |Fmaj7       |Bb                   |Gm   |C   |
Cause you weren't mine to lose,  you weren't mine to lose, no

   |Fmaj7                           |Bb                                  |
But I can see us lost in the memory, August slipped away into a moment in
|Gm                      |C   |
 time, cause it was never mine
   |Fmaj7                             |Bb                                 |
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets, August sipped away like a bottle of
|Gm                        |C         |
 wine, cause you were never mine, mine

|Fmaj7                 |Bb         |Gm   |C                     |
   Cause you were never mine, never mine,   but do you remember?
        |Fmaj7                                      |
Remember when I pulled up, and said "Get in the car" 
        |Bb                                         |
And then canceled my plans, just in case you'd call?
|Gm                                                    |C                                 |
 Back when I was living for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all "Meet me behind the

|Fmaj7     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
 mall”

        |Fmaj7                                      |
Remember when I pulled up, and said "Get in the car" 
        |Bb                                         |
And then canceled my plans, just in case you'd call?
|Gm                                           |C                   |
 Back when I was living for the hope of it all,  for the hope of it
|Fmaj7       |Bb                      |Gm                     |C             |
 all, for the hope of it all,  for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

|Fmaj7     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
|Fmaj7     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |

|Fmaj7     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
|Fmaj7     |Bb    |Gm     |C     |
