Verse 1:
( D ) ( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me
( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be
( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl
( G ) ( F# ) Em
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different
Em ( D ) ( G ) ( F# ) ( E )
Never just an ordinary girl [riff]
Verse 2:
( D ) ( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade
( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed
( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl
( G ) ( F# ) Em
Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of
Em 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 D9 (to riff)
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
(intro riff once)
Verse 3:
( D ) ( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call
( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall
( G ) ( F# ) ( E ) ( D )
I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world
( G ) ( F# ) Em
All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture
Em 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

Again, again, again
D G A
And it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
