Verse 1:
[Am] Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach
[F] I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach
[G] Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone
[F] I'm driving by your house though I know you're not home
|Chorus 1:
|[C] But I can see you
|[G] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
|[G] You got your hair combed back and your [F] sunglasses on, baby
|[C] And I can tell you my [G] love for you will still be strong
|After the boys of [F] summer have gone

Verse 2:
[Am] I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream
[F] Remember how you made me crazy, Remember how I made you scream
[G] Now I don't understand what happened to our love
[F] But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
|Chorus 2:
|[C] But I can see you
|[G] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
|[G] I see you walking real slow and you're [F] smilin' at everyone
|[C] And I can tell you my [G] love for you will still be strong
|After the boys of [F] summer have gone
Verse 3:
[Am] Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
[F] A little voice inside my head said "Don't look back. You can never look back."
[G] I thought I knew what love was. What did I know?
[F] Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go but
|Chorus 3:
|[C] But I can see you
|[G] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
|[G] You've got that top pulled down and that [F] radio on, baby
|[C] And I can tell you my [G] love for you will still be strong
|After the boys of [F] summer have gone
|Chorus 4:
|[C] But I can see you
|[G] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
|[G] You got that hair slicked back and those [F] Wayfarers on, baby
|[C] And I can tell you my [G] love for you will still be strong
|After the boys of [F] summer have gone
