Capo on 1st fret. 
[Intro]
D A Em G
[Verse 1]
DI can still see you standing there
ASummer tangled in your hair
EmFirst week of July
GFirst day of my life
DMy voice shook when I said hello
AAnd from that word we couldn't take it slow
EmI still can't believe
GThe way you looked at me
[Pre-chorus]
DNow the nights turn colder
AYour head's on my shoulder
EmWe do our best to pretend G  
DWaves get louder
AI'm lost without her
EmAs summer starts to eGnd
[Chorus]
Lets blame it on DSeptember
Cuz it hurts to Aremember
We can Emfight to hold on
But GAugust is gone
And even if the Dsun falls
I hope we don't Alose it all
Cause no Emsummer lasts Gforever
Lets blame it on DSeptember
[Verse 2]
DWe drew hearts there, in the Asand
Laughed when waves erased our Emplans
Though we never knew Gthey told the truth
DI can still hear our laughing Afriends
As we sneak off again and Emagain
No we never cared
Too Gyoung to be scared
[Pre-chorus]
DThe nights turn colder
AYour head's on my shoulder
EmAs summer starts to Gend
[Chorus]
Lets blame it on DSeptember
Cause it hurts to Aremember
We can Emfight to hold on
But GAugust is gone
And even if the Dsun falls
I hope we don't Alose it all
Cause no Emsummer lasts Gforever
Noooooo... 
[Bridge]
EmOn the beach in the heat
You know I needed that Gsweet ocean air
DI'm gonna go where I know we can be alone
AWait for you wait for you there
DBlame it on September
EmWe can try to hold on
GBut August is gone
[Chorus]
Lets blame it on DSeptember
Cause it hurts to Aremember
We can Emtry to hold on
But GAugust is gone
When the Dsun falls
I hope we don't Alose it all
Cause no Emsummer lasts Gforever
Lets blame it on DSeptemberA  
Blame it on EmSeptemberG  
[Outro] Strum once.
DI can still see you standing there
ASummer tangled in your Dhair..

[Intro]

D A Em G

[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

Em G

We do our best to pretend

Waves get louder

I'm lost without her

Em G

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

Em G

Cause no summer lasts forever

Lets blame it on September

[Verse 2]

D A

We drew hearts there, in the sand

Laughed when waves erased our plans

Though we never knew they told the truth

D A

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

Em G

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

Em G

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

Em G

Cause no summer lasts forever

D A

Lets blame it on September

Em G

Blame it on September

[Outro] Strum once.

I can still see you standing there

A D

Summer tangled in your hair..
