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.


Em  C  D  C


Verse 2:  


Em                                  C
I never will forget those nights. I wonder if it was a dream.
D                                 C
Remember how you made me crazy, Remember how I made you scream.
Em                     C
Now I don't understand what Happened to our love.
D                                 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 your 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.





Bridge - Em C C D C C D A C D C Em C D C


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                 D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.                                    
                                        C
You got your top pulled down and your radio on, baby
G                 D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
                  C
After the boys of summer have


G                 D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.                                    
                                        C
You got your hair slicked back, and your wayfairers on, baby
G                 D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
                  C
After the boys of summer have
