Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me

 I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be

 And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl

 In this or any other summer she is something altogether different

Never just an ordinary girl [riff or D G Bm A]

Verse 2

And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade

 She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed

 I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl

 Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of

 someone who is not an ordinary girl

Chorus 1

 When you sleep you find your mother in the night

 But she stays just out of sight

 So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming

And when you wake the morning covers you with light

 And it makes you feel alright

  (to riff or )

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

Verse 3

You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call

 You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall

 I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world

 All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture

 In the face of such an ordinary girl

Chorus 2

 And when you sleep you find your mother in the night

 But she stays just out of sight

 So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming

And when you wake the morning showers you with light

 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

 Again, again, again

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

Outro

(with riff)

  Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark

  Don't ask me to come around then wait to see if there's a spark

  Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark

  Don't ask me to come around then wait to see if there's a spark

  Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark

  Don't ask me to come around then wait to see if there's a spark
