E A
I can still see you standing there
E
Summer tangled in your hair
First week of July
A
First day of my life
E A
My voice shook when I said hello
E
And from that word we couldn't take it slow
I still can't believe
A
The way you looked at me
E
Now the nights turn colder
B
Your head'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
E
Let's blame it on September
B
Cause it hurts to remember
C#m
We can fight to hold on
A
But August is gone
E
And even if the sun falls
B
I hope we don't lose it all
C#m A
Cause no summer lasts forever
E B C#m A
Let's blame it on September
E A
We drew hearts there in the sand
E
Laughed when waves erased our plans
Though we never knew
A
That they told the truth
E A
I can still hear our laughing friends
E
As we sneak off again and again
No we never cared
A
Too young to be scared
E
The nights turn colder
B
Your head's on my shoulder
C#m A
As summer starts to end
E
Let's blame it on September
B
Cause it hurts to remember
C#m
We can fight to hold on
A
But August is gone
E
And even if the sun falls
B
I hope we don't lose it all
C#m A
Cause no summer lasts forever
C#m
No
E
On the beach in the heat
B
You know I need that sweet ocean air
C#m
I'm gonna go where I know we can be alone
A E B C#m A
Wait for you, wait for you there
E B
Blame it on September
C#m
We can try to hold on
A
But August is gone
E
Let's blame it on September
B
Cause it hurts to remember
C#m
We can fight to hold on
A
But August is gone
E
When the sun falls
B
I hope we don't lose it all
C#m A
Cause no summer lasts forever
E B
Let's blame it on September
C#m A
Blame it on September
E A
I can still see you standing there
E
Summer tangled in your hair
