[Verse]
                   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 you're 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                Em
After the boys of summer have gone ■ 


[Verse]
  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


[Chorus]
C                                                                G 
But babe I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
              D                                 
I can see you your brown skin shining in the sun
                                C                  
I see you walking real slow and 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]
                                                             C
Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac ■
C                                 
A little voice inside my head said
C                                      
Don't look back you can never look back
D                                             
I thought I knew what love was what did I know
C                                                    G  
Those days are gone forever I should just let 'em go but


[Chorus]
              D                                   
I can see you ■ your brown skin shining in the sun
                                C            G   
You got the top pulled down and the radio on baby
                  D                                
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
                  C           G   
After the boys of summer have gone
              D                                   
I can see you ■ your brown skin shining in the sun
                                   C                  G   
You got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on baby
               D                                   
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
                  C               
After the boys of summer have gone
