D – A – G – D

D
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
A
i’m drivin’ by your house , though i know you’re not at home

chorus :
D
but i can see you
A
your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
A G
you got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on , baby
D A
and i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
A G
after the boys of summer have gone

D
i never will forget those nights , i wonder if it was a dream

D
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

those days are gone forever , i should just let them go but
