Hard Candy Counting Crows
Might not be 100%, but sounds alright if you're doing it solo-acoustic. Any feedback welcome.
Standard tuning
Capo 2nd fret
Verse 1:
[D] On certain [G]Sundays in No[D/F#]vember when the [Em]weather bothers [D]me
I empty d[G]rawers of other [D/F#]summers where my [Em]shadows used to [D]be
And she is s[G]tanding by the [D/F#]water as her [Em]smile begins to [D]curl
In this or [G]any other s[D/F#]ummer she is [Em]something altogether different
[Em]Never just an ordinary [D]girl
[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
[Em]Someone who is not an ordinary [G]girl
Chorus:
When you s[A]leep you find your [D]mother in the nig[G]ht
But she [D]stays just out of [G]sight
So there [D]isn't any [F#m]sweetness in the d[A]reaming
[G] And when you w[A]ake the morning c[D]overs you with l[G]ight
And it m[D]akes you feel al[G]right
But it's [D]just the same hard [F#m]candy you're rem[A]embering aga[D]in
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 [Em]face of such an ordinary [G]girl
Chorus:
And when you s[A]leep you find your [D]mother in the nig[G]ht
But she [D]stays just out of [G]sight
So there [D]isn't any [F#m]sweetness in the d[A]reaming
[G] And when you w[A]ake the morning sh[D]owers you with l[G]ight
And it m[D]akes you feel al[G]right
But it's [D]just the same hard [F#m]candy you're rem[A]embering aga[D]in
Again,[G] again,[Em] agai[A]n
It's [D]just the same hard c[G]andy you're rem[A]embering ag[D]ain
Again,[G] again,[Em] agai[A]n
And it's [D]just the same hard c[G]andy you're rem[A]embering 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
