The Boys of Summer.doc

No-bo-dy on the road

No-bo-dy on the beach

I feel it in the air

The sum-mer's out of reach

Emp-ty lake, emp-ty streets

The sun goes down a-lone

I'm driv-in' by your house

Though I know you're not at ho-me

But I can see you

Your brown skin shin-in' in the sun

You got your hair combed back

sun-glas-ses on, ba-by

And I can tell yo-u my love

for you will still be strong

Af-ter the boys of sum-mer have go-ne

I nev-er will for-get those nights

I won-der if it was a dream

Re-mem-ber how you made me cra-zy?

Re-mem-ber how I made you scream

Now I don't un-der-stand

what hap-pened to our love

But babe, I'm gon-na get you back

I'm gon-na show you what I'm made of

I can see you

Your brown skin shin-in' in the sun

I see you walk-in' real slow and you're

smil-in' at e-very-one

And I can tell yo-u my love

for you will still be strong

Af-ter the boys of sum-mer have go-ne

Out on the road to-day,

I saw a DEAD-HEAD stic-ker on a Ca-dil-lac

A lit-tle voice in-side my head said,

"Don't look back.  You can ne-ver look back."

I thought I knew what love was

What did I know?

Those days are gone for-e-ver

I should just let them go but (but, but, but)

I can see you

Your brown skin shin-in' in the sun

You got that hair slicked back and those

Way-far-ers on, ba-by

And I can tell yo-u my love

for you will still be strong

Af-ter the boys of sum-mer have go-ne

I can tell yo-u my love

for you will still be strong

Af-ter the boys of sum-mer have go-ne
