[Intro]
Em C D C
[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.
[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 you're 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.

[Verse 3]
Em
Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillaxc
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 that top pulled down, and that radio 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
G D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
C
You got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby.
G D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
C
After the boys of summer have gone.
