Verse 1:
(D)          (G)           (F#) 
   On certain Sundays in 
           (E)            (D)
November when the weather bothers me
       (G)               (F#)  
I empty drawers of other summers 
          (E)               (D)
where my shadows used to be
            (G)            (F#)   
And she is standing by the water 
      (E)              (D)
as her smile begins to curl
           (G)       (F#)         
In this or any other summer she is
  Em
 something altogether different
Em                    (D)     
Never just an ordinary girl  
(G)   (F#)  (E)
[riff]


Verse 2:
(D)          (G)              
   And in the evenings on Long
(F#)            (E)               
 Island when the colours start to 
 (D)
fade
           (G)           (F#)     
She wears a silly yellow hat that 
        (E)                   (D)
someone gave her when she stayed
        (G)              (F#)     
I didn't think that she returned 
         (E)              (D)
it we left New York in a whirl
Continúa después del anuncio
      (G)                 (F#)    
Time expands and then contracts 
           Em
when you are spinning in the grips 
of
        Em                      G
someone who is not an ordinary girl


Chorus 1:
          A                  D    
When you sleep you find your 
            G
mother in the night
        D                 G
But she stays just out of sight
         D         F#m            
So there isn't any sweetness in 
   A
the dreaming
G              A            
 And when you wake the morning 
    D               G
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

(intro riff once)


Verse 3:
(D)               (G)          
   You send your lover off to 
(F#)          (E)              (D)
China then you wait for her to call
             (G)            (F#)  
You put your girl up on a pedestal
          (E)               (D)
 then you wait for her to fall
         (G)                (F#)  
I put my summer's back in a letter
       (E)                 (D)
 and I hide it from the world
           (G)                (F#)
All the regrets you can't forget 
           Em
are somehow pressed upon a picture
       Em                       G
In the face of such an ordinary girl


Chorus 2:
              A                 
And when you sleep you find your 
 D                G
mother in the night
        D                 G
But she stays just out of sight
         D         F#m            
So there isn't any sweetness in 
   A
the dreaming
G              A            
 And when you wake the morning 
     D               G
showers you with light
        D               G
And it makes you feel alright
         D                  F#m   
But it's just the same hard candy 
          A           D
you're remembering again
      G      Em    A
Again, again,  again
     D                   G        
It's just the same hard candy 
      A          D
you're remembering again
      G      Em    A
Again, again,  again
         D                   G    
And it's just the same hard candy 
          A
you're remembering again
