August Uke tab by Taylor Swift

[Verse 1]

D        Gmaj7                 Em7

Salt air, and the rust on your door

               Em

I never needed anything more

D       Gmaj7       Em7

Whispers of "Are you sure?"

             Em

"Never have I ever  before"

 

[Chorus]

    D

But I can see us lost in the memory

Gmaj7                                Em7

August slipped away into a moment in time

                    A

'Cause it was never mine

    D

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

Gmaj7                               Em7

August sipped away like a bottle of wine

                      A

'Cause you were never mine

 

[Verse 2]

D        Gmaj7           Em7

Your back beneath the sun

                Em

Wishin' I could write my name on it

D            Gmaj7                Em7

Will you call when you're back at school?

           Em

I remember thinkin' I had you

 

[Chorus]

    D

But I can see us lost in the memory

Gmaj7                                Em7

August slipped away into a moment in time

                    A

'Cause it was never mine

    D

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

Gmaj7                               Em7

August sipped away like a bottle of wine

                      A

'Cause you were never mine

 

D Gmaj7 Em A

 

[Bridge]

D                                        Gmaj7

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

                       Gmaj7

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            Gmaj7

'Cause you weren't mine to lose

                    Em   A

You weren't mine to lose, oh

 

[Chorus]

    D

But I can see us lost in the memory

Gmaj7                                Em7

August slipped away into a moment in time

                    A

'Cause it was never mine

    D

And I can see us twisted in bedsheets

Gmaj7                               Em7

August sipped away like a bottle of wine

                      A

'Cause you were never mine

 

[Outro]

D                     Gmaj7

'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"

         Gmaj7

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 mall"

           D

(Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

         Gmaj7

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 mall")

         D

Remember when I pulled up and said "Get in the car"

         Gmaj7

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            Gmaj7

For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all

Em                              A                D Gmaj7 Em A (6x)

(For the hope of it all, for the hope of it all)
