Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me

I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be

And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl

In this or any other summer she is something altogether different

Never just an ordinary girl [riff or D G Bm A]

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

someone who is not an ordinary girl

Chorus 1

When you sleep you find your mother in the night

But she stays just out of sight

So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming

And when you wake the morning covers you with light

And it makes you feel alright

(to riff or )

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

In the face of such an ordinary girl

Chorus 2

And when you sleep you find your mother in the night

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

Again, again, again

It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

Again, again, again

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 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 then wait to see if there's a spark
