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#) MIm
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different

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#) MIm
Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of
MIm SOL
someone who is not an ordinary girl

And it makes you feel alright

(D) (G) (F#) (E) (D)
You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call

(G) (F#) (E) (D)
I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world
(G) (F#) MIm
All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture
MIm SOL
In the face of such an ordinary girl

And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
RE SOL
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

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