The Boys Of Summer

Intro: Em 

Verse 1: 

Em                                             Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.
 C                                                  I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach.
 D                                                        Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.  
 C  I'm driving by your house, though I know your not home.


Chorus:

G                 DBut I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                     C You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.
G                 DI can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
                 CAfter the boys of summer have gone.

Verse 2:  


Em                                  I never will forget those nights. I wonder if it was a dream.
C                                 Remember how you made me crazy, Remember how I made you scream.
DNow I don't understand what Happened to our love.
CBut baby, when I get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.


Chorus

G                 DBut I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.                                    
                                        CI see you walking real slow and your smiling at everyone
G                 DI can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
                  CAfter the boys of summer have gone.









Bridge - Em 

Verse 3: 
 
EmOut on the road today I saw a Black Flag Sticker on a Cadillac.
CA little voice inside my head said:"Don't look back, you can never look back."
DI thought I knew what love was. What did I know?
CThose days are gone forever. I should just let them go, but

G                 DBut I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.                                    
                                        CYou got your top pulled down and your radio on, baby
G                 DI can tell you my love for you will still be strong

G                 DBut I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.                                    
                                        CYou got your hair slicked back, and your wayfairers on, baby
G                 DI can tell you my love for you will still be strong
