This song sounds magical when you play Dmaj7. I've conveniently marked when it is appropriate to use the Dmaj7 chord throughout the song :)
You can also use Gmaj7 which is 300032
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
..Salt air,
G Em
..and the rust on your door
A
I never needed anything more
Dmaj7
..Whispers
G Em
..of "Are you sure?"
A
"Never have I ever before"
[Chorus]
Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
G Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
A
'Cause you were never mine
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
..Your back
G Em
..beneath the sun
A
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Dmaj7
..Will you call
G Em
..when you're back at school?
A
I remember thinkin' I had you
[Chorus]
Dmaj7
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
Dmaj7
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
G Em
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
A
'Cause you were never mine
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Dmaj7 G
..Back when we were still changin' for the better
Em
Wanting was enough
A
For me, it was enough
Dmaj7
To live for the hope of it all
G
Canceled 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 mi....ne to lo...se
Em
You weren't mine to lose
A
oh
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Dmaj7 G
...Cause you were never mine
Em
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
D
"Meet me behind the ma..ll"
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)
