*Tuning is half-step down is optional. A I can still see you standing there E Summer tangled in your hair First week of July A First day of my life 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 A We do our best to pretend E Waves get louder B I'm lost without her 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 A Cause no summer lasts forever A Let's blame it on September 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 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 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 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 Wait for you, wait for you there 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 A Cause no summer lasts forever B Let's blame it on September A Blame it on September A I can still see you standing there E
