Verse 1
-------
Em
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach

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 you're not home
Chorus 1
--------
G
But I can see you
D
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
C
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
G D
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
C
After the boys of summer have gone
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 babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
Chorus 2
--------
G
I can see you

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

I see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

Em
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
C
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back"

I thought I knew what love was made of
What did I know?
C
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
Chorus 3
--------
G
I can see you

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you

After the boys of summer have gone
