Verse 1:
Chord diagramD MajorD       Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramD/F#D/F#      Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramD MajorD
  On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me
     Chord diagramG+G        Chord diagramD/F#D/F#       Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramD MajorD
I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be
      Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramD/F#D/F#     Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramD MajorD
And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl
      Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramD/F#D/F#     Chord diagramE minorEm
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different
Chord diagramE minorEm           Chord diagramD MajorD
Never just an ordinary girl

Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramD/F#D/F#  Chord diagramE minorEm

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
Chord diagramE minorEm               Chord diagramG+G
Someone who is not an ordinary girl

Chorus:
     Chord diagramA augmentedA         Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
When you sleep you find your mother in the night
    Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramG+G
But she stays just out of sight
     Chord diagramD MajorD     Chord diagramF# minorF#m        Chord diagramA augmentedA
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA        Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
 And when you wake the morning covers you with light
    Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
And it makes you feel alright
     Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramF# minorF#m       Chord diagramA augmentedA      Chord diagramD MajorD
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
    Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramG+G
In the face of such an ordinary girl

Chorus:
       Chord diagramA augmentedA         Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
    Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramG+G
But she stays just out of sight
     Chord diagramD MajorD     Chord diagramF# minorF#m        Chord diagramA augmentedA
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA         Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
 And when you wake the morning showers you with light
    Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
And it makes you feel alright
     Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramF# minorF#m       Chord diagramA augmentedA      Chord diagramD MajorD
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
   Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramA augmentedA
Again, again, again
   Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA     Chord diagramD MajorD
It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
   Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramA augmentedA
Again, again, again
     Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA
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 and make me wait to see the spark
Go ask her to come around late and see me after dark
Don't ask me to come around and wait to see if there is a spark
