[@elijahverzosa7622]

Salt air, and the rust on your door I never needed anything more Whispers of "Are you sure?" "Never have I ever before" But I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time 'Cause it was never mine And I can see us twisted in bedsheets August sipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine Your back beneath the sun Wishin' I could write my name on it Will you call when you're back at school? I remember thinkin' I had you But I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time 'Cause it was never mine And I can see us twisted in bedsheets August sipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine Back when we were still changin' for the better Wanting was enough For me, it was enough To live for the hope of it all Cancel plans just in case you'd call And say, "Meet me behind the mall" So much for summer love and saying "us" 'Cause you weren't mine to lose You weren't mine to lose, no But I can see us lost in the memory August slipped away into a moment in time 'Cause it was never mine And I can see us twisted in bedsheets August sipped away like a bottle of wine 'Cause you were never mine 'Cause you were never mine, never mine But do you remember? Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car" And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call? Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all "Meet me behind the mall" Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car" And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call? Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (for the hope of it all) For the hope of it all For the hope of it all (For the hope of it all) (For the hope of it all)

[@sandpiper_]

august and betty are totally not my favorite songs on folklore because the fact that 8/14 is my birthday- i genuinely like the songs lol

Just got my first guitar and I'm trying to learn this song, my best friend helped me with the strings, I think I'm doing the chords right but when I do the DD UU DD it doesn't sound the same 😭

[@kirstenruiz5675]

SAAAMMMEEEE I did the DD UU DD but it sounded so wrong lol, I got Extremely frustrated.

[@danielaaleman7394]

@@kirstenruiz5675 hi! I kept practicing, sounds better now I believe but no one told me it would be so hard to play and sing at the same time 😂😭

[@ohmyjanah]

you can do it!!!

[@rominaromano6377]

maybe you could do DD UU DD DU to fill the silence! it works for me

[@PaddingtonSoul]

Hi, Nena...

[@jasleenarora02]

I have a confusion .. pls help nena In your recent videos , you do em7 in another way but here it’s different ..

[@NenaShelby]

hi! so there are many different variations for each chord, both of these are considered a form of Em7, so they are both correct. but one sounds better for this song and the other sounds better in another song. hope this helps!

[@jasleenarora02]

@@NenaShelby okayy thank you so much ❤️ Enjoy your vacay 😊

[@hansika6720]

would we require a whole different set of chords to sing the entire song one key higher?

[@NenaShelby]

to sing higher, i usually just move the capo up and down until it fits my vocal range, and i just keep the chords the same! i don’t know too much about the technical of music haha i just play by ear :)

[@boukendabouken1850]

if i had a voice like yours i would never shut up

[@morganx5570]

I'm trying so hard I just can't get the strumming right

[@AndromedaEleven]

3:03 it’s actually G6

[@kirstenruiz5675]

The strumming pattern is confusing me 😭😭😭 I did the DD UU DD but it sounded so wrong. Heeellpppp 😭😭😭 I am SSUUPPPEERRR DUPPPEERRR FRUSTRATED that I can't get it right.

[@ohmyjanah]

you can do it!!!

[@mariasveroni1380]

You probably strum with an incorrect rhythm. Try to strum at the same time with Nena!! You can do it!❣️❣️

[@sandpiper_]

i'd reccomend improvising. just start with a simple one and sorta just go with the flow of the song.
