Capo on 1st fret.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair
First week of July
First day of my life
My voice shook when I said hello
And from that word we couldn't take it slow
I still can't believe
The way you looked at me
[Pre-chorus]
Now the nights turn colder
Your head's on my shoulder
We do our best to pretend
Waves get louder
I'm lost without her
As summer starts to end
[Chorus]
Lets blame it on September
Cuz it hurts to remember
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
Lets blame it on September
[Verse 2]
We drew hearts there, in the sand
Laughed when waves erased our plans
Though we never knew 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 head'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
And even if the sun falls
I hope we don't lose it all
Cause no summer lasts forever
Noooooo...
[Bridge]
On the beach in the heat
You know I needed that sweet ocean air
I'm gonna go where I know we can be alone
Wait for you wait for you there
Blame it on September
We can try to hold on
But August is gone
[Chorus]
Lets blame it on September
Cause it hurts to remember
We can try 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
[Outro] Strum once.
I can still see you standing there
Summer tangled in your hair..
