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]

(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

When you sleep you find your mother in the night

(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

And it makes you feel alright

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