[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 drivin' by your house, though I know you're not home
[Chorus]
G But I can see you D Your brown skin shinin' in the sun D 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 D C 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 C But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
[Chorus]
G I can see you D Your brown skin shinin' in the sun D C I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone G D I can tell you my love for you will still be strong D C After the boys of summer have gone

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