Intro

Dm - Dm - Bb - C - Bb

Verse

Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house, though I know you're not at home

Chorus

But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Solo

Dm - Bb - C - Bb

Verse

I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy? remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

Chorus

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone 

Solo

Dm - Bb - C - Bb (x2)

Verse

Out on the road today, I saw a black flag sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, Don't look back. You can never look back
I thought I knew what love was What did I know?
Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go but
[Chorus] (x2)
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Outro

F - C - C - Bb
