E B I can still see you standing there C#m Summer tangled in your hair First week of july A First day of my life E B My voice shook when I said hello C#m And from that word we couldn't take it slow I still can't believe A The way you looked at me Pre chorus E Now the nights turn colder B Your hand's on my shoulder C#m A We do our best to pretend E Waves get louder B I'm lost without her C#m A This summer starts to end chorus E Lets blame it on September B Cuz it hurts to remember C#m We can fight to hold on A But august is gone E And even if the sun falls B I hope we don't lose it all C#m A Cause no summer lasts forever E B C#m Lets blame it on September verse 2 (same chords as verse 1) We drew hearts there, in the sand Laughed when waves erased our plans Though we never knew That they told the truth I can still hear our laughing friends As we sneak off again and again No we never cared Too young to be scared pre chorus The nights turn colder Your hand's on my shoulder As summer starts to end chorus Lets blame it on September Cause it hurts to remember We can fight to hold on But august is gone Even if the sun falls I hope we don't lose it all Cause no summer lasts forever bridge E On the beach in the heat B Ya know I need that sweet ocean air C#m I'm gunna go where I know we can be alone A Wait for you wait for you there Chorus Blame it on September We can try to hold on But August is gone Blame it on September Cause it hurts to remember We can fight to hold on But August is gone When the sun falls I hope we don't lose it all Cause no summer lasts forever Lets blame it on September Blame it on September I can still see you standing there Summer tangled in your hair
