*Tuning is half-step down is optional. 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 A#m 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 A#m 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
