[Verse]
              Ab7 
Nobody on the road
Fm                  Ab7
Nobody on the beach ■  
                 Db 
I feel it in the air
    Bbm                  
The summer's out of reach
Eb    Eb7               
Empty lake empty streets
    Eb7                
The sun goes down alone
Db             Ab           
■  I'm driving by your house
Db     Ab7                   
Though I know you're not home
Ab        Ab7    
But I can see you
Eb7                                   
■   Your brown skin shining in the sun
             Eb7                      
You got your hair combed back and your
              Ab  
Sunglasses on baby


[Chorus]
                  Eb                         Eb7

I      ■  ■  ■   never will forget those nights


[Verse]
               Ab7        
I wonder if it was a dream
                         Db   
Remember how you made me crazy
Fm           Ab               
Remember how I made you scream
Ab                    
Now I don't understand
Eb7           Bbm Eb7     
What happened to  our love
Db7                            
But babe I'm gonna get you back
                                 Ab7
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of 


[Chorus]
Ab7          
I can see you
Eb7                                   
■   Your brown skin shining in the sun
          Eb7              
I see you walking real slow
Db7        Db       Ab7
Smiling at everyone ■  
                  Eb                         Eb7   
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

[Verse]
       Fm7           
Out on the road today
  Fm7                                 
I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac
  Db                               
A little voice inside my head said:
Dbmaj7                                  Eb7
Don't look back you can never look back ■  
                           Eb7
I thought I knew what love was
     Eb7       
What did I know
Db7                        
Those days are gone forever
                          Db7
I should just let them go but


[Chorus]
  Ab      Eb7
I can see you
                               Eb7
Your brown skin shining in the sun
                       Eb7 
You got the top pulled down
Db       Ab  
Radio on baby
                  Eb                               
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
          Eb7     Db              
After the boys of summer have gone
          Db 
I can see you

[Outro]
Eb                                      
You got your hair slicked back and those
Db               
Wayfarers on baby
                  Db7

After the boys of summer have gone
