Verse 1:
D On certain GSundays in NoD/F#vember when the Emweather bothers Dme
I empty dGrawers of other D/F#summers where my Emshadows used to Dbe
And she is sGtanding by the D/F#water as her Emsmile begins to Dcurl
In this or Gany other sD/F#ummer she is Emsomething altogether different
EmNever just an ordinary Dgirl
G D/F# Em
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
EmSomeone who is not an ordinary Ggirl
Chorus:
When you sAleep you find your Dmother in the nigGht
But she Dstays just out of Gsight
So there Disn't any F#msweetness in the dAreaming
G And when you wAake the morning cDovers you with lGight
And it mDakes you feel alGright
But it's Djust the same hard F#mcandy you're remAembering agaDin
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
In the Emface of such an ordinary Ggirl
Chorus:
And when you sAleep you find your Dmother in the nigGht
But she Dstays just out of Gsight
So there Disn't any F#msweetness in the dAreaming
G And when you wAake the morning shDowers you with lGight
And it mDakes you feel alGright
But it's Djust the same hard F#mcandy you're remAembering agaDin
Again,G again,Em agaiAn
It's Djust the same hard cGandy you're remAembering agDain
Again,G again,Em agaiAn
And it's Djust the same hard cGandy you're remAembering 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
