^C#m Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach ^A I feel it in the air

The summer's out of reach

^BEmpty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone ^A I'm drivin' by your house

Though I know you're not at 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 ^Blove for you will still be strong ^BAfter the boys of ^Asummer have gone

C#m - A - B - A [Verse]

^C#m I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream ^A Remember how you made me crazy?

Remember how I made you scream

^B Now I don't understand what happened to our love ^A But babe, when I get you back

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of [Chorus]

^E 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 I can tell you my ^Blove for you will still be strong ^BAfter the boys of ^Asummer have gone

A - A - B - A [Solo:] C#m - A - B - A (x2) [Bridge]

^C#m Out on the road today, I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac ^A A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back." ^B I thought I knew what love was

What did I know?

^AThose days are gone forever I should just let them go but-

[Chorus]

^E I can see you- ^B Your brown skin shinin' in the sun ^B You got that top pulled down and that^A radio on, baby ^E And I can tell you my ^Blove for you will still be strong ^BAfter the boys of ^Asummer have gone

^E I can see you- ^B Your brown skin shinin' in the sun ^B You got that hair slicked back and those^A Wayfarers on, baby ^E I can tell you my ^Blove for you will still be strong ^BAfter the boys of ^Asummer have gone
