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..
