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..
