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
EOn (022100@1)the beach in the heat
                    BYa (x2444x@1)know I need that sweet ocean air
C#mI'm (x13321@4)gunna go where I know we can be alone
AWait (x02220@1)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
