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 
E                            B 
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 
                  B 
Cuz 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 
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
