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]But I can see you,[D] your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got your hair combed back and you[C]r sunglasses on, baby.
[G]I can tell you my [D]love for you will still be strong
After the boys of[C] summer have gone.
[Em] [C] [D] [C]
Verse 2:
[Em]I never will forget those nights. I [C]wonder if it was a dream.
[D]Remember how you made me crazy, Re[C]member how I made you scream.
[Em]Now I don't understand [C]what Happened to our love.
[D]But baby, when I get you back, I'm[C] gonna show you what I'm made of.
Chorus
[G]But I can see you,[D] your brown skin shining in the sun.
I see you walking real slow and your smi[C]ling at everyone
[G]I can tell you my [D]love for you will still be strong
After the boys of [C]summer have gone.

Verse 3:
[Em]Out on the road today I saw a Black Flag 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]But I can see you,[D] your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got your top pulled down and your ra[C]dio on, baby
[G]I can tell you my [D]love for you will still be strong
After the boys of [C]summer have
[G]But I can see you,[D] your brown skin shining in the sun.
You got your hair slicked back, and your[C] wayfairers on, baby
[G]I can tell you my [D]love for you will still be strong
After the boys of [C]summer have
