Verse 1:
D G Bm A D
On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me
(D) G Bm A D
I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be
(D) G Bm A D
And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl
(D) G Bm A
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different
A
Never just an ordinary girl [riff or D G Bm A]
Verse 2:
D G Bm A D
And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade
(D) G Bm A D
She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed
(D) G Bm A D
I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl
(D) G Bm A
Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of
A G
someone who is not an ordinary girl
Chorus 1:
A D G
When you sleep you find your mother in the night
D G
But she stays just out of sight
D F#m A
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
G A D G
And when you wake the morning covers you with light
D G
And it makes you feel alright
D F#m A Dsus2 (to riff or D G Bm A)
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Verse 3:
D G Bm A D
You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call
(D) G Bm A D
You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall
(D) G Bm A D
I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world
(D) G Bm A
All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture
A G
In the face of such an ordinary girl
Chorus 2:
A D G
And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
D G
But she stays just out of sight
D F#m A
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
G A D G
And when you wake the morning showers you with light
D G
And it makes you feel alright
D F#m A D
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
G Em A
Again, again, again
D G A D
It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
G Em A
Again, again, again
D G A
And it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
