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..
