Capo 2
Verse 1:
D G D/F# Em D
On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me
(D) G D/F# Em D
I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be
(D) G D/F# Em D
And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl
(D) G D/F# Em7
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different
Em7
Never just an ordinary girl [riff]
Verse 2:
D G D/F# Em D
And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade
(D) G D/F# Em D
She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed
(D) G D/F# Em D
I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl
(D) G D/F# Em7
Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of
Em7 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)
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Verse 3:
D G D/F# Em D
You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call
(D) G D/F# Em D
You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall
(D) G D/F# Em D
I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world
(D) G D/F# Em7
All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture
Em7 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

But she stays just out of sight

And it makes you feel alright

But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

Again, again, again

It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
