E5 B5 I can still see you standing there C#5 Summer tangled in your hair First week of july A5 First day of my life E5 B5 My voice shook when I said hello C#5 And from that word we couldn't take it slow I still can't believe A5 The way you looked at me Pre chorus E5 Now the nights turn colder B5 Your hand's on my shoulder C#5 A5 We do our best to pretend E5 Waves get louder B5 I'm lost without her C#5 A5 This summer starts to end chorus E5 Lets blame it on September B5 Cuz it hurts to remember C#5 We can fight to hold on A5 But august is gone E5 And even if the sun falls B5 I hope we don't lose it all C#5 A5 Cause no summer lasts forever E5 B5 C#5 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 E5 On the beach in the heat B5 Ya know I need that sweet ocean air C#5 I'm gunna go where I know we can be alone A5 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
