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

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
[Refrão] E
Lets blame it on September

Cuz it hurts to remember
C#m
We can fight to hold on

But august is gone

And even if the sun falls

I hope we don't lose it all

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
