[Intro]
Em

[Verse 1]

Em
   Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.
 C
  I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach.
 D
   Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.
 C
  I'm driving by your house, though I know your not home.


[Chorus]

G                 D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                     C
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.
G                 D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
                 C
After the boys of summer have gone.


Em

[Verse 2]


Em
I never will forget those nights. I wonder if it was a dream.
C
Remember how you made me crazy, Remember how I made you scream.
D
Now I don't understand what Happened to our love.
C
But baby, when I get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.


[Chorus]

G                 D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                        C
I see you walking real slow and your smiling at everyone
G                 D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
                  C
After the boys of summer have gone.



Bridge - Em


[Verse 3]

Em
Out on the road today I saw a Dead Head Sticker on a Cadillac.
C
A little voice inside my head said:"Don't look back, you can never look back."
D
I thought I knew what love was. What did I know?
C
Those days are gone forever. I should just let them go, but


[Chorus]

G                 D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                        C
You got your top pulled down and your radio on, baby
G                 D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
                  C
After the boys of summer have


G                 D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                        C
You got your hair slicked back, and your wayfairers on, baby
G                 D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
                  C
After the boys of summer have


[Outro]
