Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
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
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
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
 x2):
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
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
I  can see you
Your  brown skin shinin' in the sun
You  got that hair slicked back and those  Wayfarers on, baby
I  can tell you my love  for you will still be strong
After  the boys of summer  have gone
