[Verse - Drums]
[C#m] Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach
[B] I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach
[A] Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone
[B]I'm drivin' by your house, though I know you're not home
[Chorus]
[E] But I can see you
[B] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[B] You got your hair combed back and your [A] sunglasses on, baby
[E] And I can tell you my [B]love for you will still be strong
[B] After the boys of [A] summer have gone
[Solo] - Intro Chords

[Verse]
[C#m] I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream
[B] Remember how you made me crazy? remember how I made you scream
[A] Now I don't understand what happened to our love
[B] But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
[Chorus]
[E] But I can see you
[B] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[B]I see you walkin' real slow and you're [A] smilin' at everyone
[E] And I can tell you my [B]love for you will still be strong
[B] After the boys of [A] summer have gone

[Verse - No drums]
[C#m] Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
[B] A little voice Inside my head said, Don't look back. You can never look back
[A] I thought I knew what love was; what did I know?
[B] Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go but
[Chorus - Drums back in]
[E] But I can see you
[B] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[B] You got top pulled down and the [A] radio on, baby
[E] And I can tell you my [B] love for you will still be strong
[B] After the boys of [A] summer have gone
[Chorus]
[E] But I can see you
[B] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[B] You got that hair slicked back and [A] those Wayfarers on, baby

[B] After the boys of [A] summer have gone
