No Capo

[Verse 1]
           
Salt air, and 

              
the rust on yo

   
ur door
              
I never needed

 
 anything more
           
Whispers of "A

         
re you sure?"
              
Never have I e

   
ver before

[Chorus]

But I can see 

us lost in the

 memory
            
August slipped

              
 away into a m

   
oment in time

'Cause it was 

never mine

And I can see 

us twistin' in

 bedsheets
            
August slipped

              
 away like a b

          
ottle of wine

'Cause you wer

e never mine

[Verse 2]
           
You're back be

            
neath the sun

Wishin' I coul

d write my nam

e on it
            
Will you call 

            
when you're ba

      
ck at school?

I remember thi

nkin' I had yo

[Chorus]

But I can see 

us lost in the

 memory
        
August slipped

oment in time
              
'Cause it was 

      
never mine

And I can see 

us twistin' in

 bedsheets
        
August slipped

              
 away like a b

'Cause you wer

[Bridge]
             
Back when we w

              
ere still chan

For me, it was

To live for th

Canceled plans

 just in case 

you'd call

And say "Meet 

me behind the

So much for su

saying "Us"
              
'Cause you wer

Never mine
