Capo on 1st fret. [Intro] D A Em G [Verse 1] D I can still see you standing there A Summer tangled in your hair Em First week of July G First day of my life D My voice shook when I said hello A And from that word we couldn't take it slow Em I still can't believe G The way you looked at me [Pre-chorus] D Now the nights turn colder A Your head's on my shoulder Em G We do our best to pretend D Waves get louder A I'm lost without her Em G As summer starts to end [Chorus] D Lets blame it on September A Cuz it hurts to remember Em We can fight to hold on G But August is gone D And even if the sun falls A I hope we don't lose it all Em G Cause no summer lasts forever D Lets blame it on September [Verse 2] D A We drew hearts there, in the sand Em Laughed when waves erased our plans G Though we never knew they told the truth D A I can still hear our laughing friends Em As we sneak off again and again No we never cared G Too young to be scared [Pre-chorus] D The nights turn colder A Your head's on my shoulder Em G As summer starts to end [Chorus] D Lets blame it on September A Cause it hurts to remember Em We can fight to hold on G But August is gone D And even if the sun falls A I hope we don't lose it all Em G Cause no summer lasts forever Noooooo... [Bridge] Em On the beach in the heat G You know I needed that sweet ocean air D I'm gonna go where I know we can be alone A Wait for you wait for you there D Blame it on September Em We can try to hold on G But August is gone [Chorus] D Lets blame it on September A Cause it hurts to remember Em We can try to hold on G But August is gone D When the sun falls A I hope we don't lose it all Em G Cause no summer lasts forever D A Lets blame it on September Em G Blame it on September [Outro] Strum once. D I can still see you standing there A D Summer tangled in your hair.. END
