| 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 |
| C | G |
| But I can see you, | your brown skin shining in the sun |
| F |
| You got your hair combed back and your | sunglasses on, baby |
| C | G |
| I can tell you my | love for you will still be strong |
| F |
| After the boys of | summer have gone |
| 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
| C | G |
| I can see you, | your brown skin shining in the sun |
| F |
| I see you walking real slow and you’re | smiling at everyone |
| C | G |
| I can tell you my | love for you will still be strong |
| F |
| After the boys of | summer have gone |

| 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 could 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 |
| C | G |
| I can see you, | your brown skin shining in the sun |
| F |
| You got the top pulled down and your | radio on, baby |
| C | G |
| I can tell you my | love for you will still be strong |
| F |
| After the boys of | summer have gone |
| C | G |
| I can see you, | your brown skin shining in the sun |
| F |
| You got your hair slicked back and those | wayfarers on, baby |
| C | G |
| I can tell you my | love for you will still be strong |
