Biography:
Taking their name from the main character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel Tender Is the Night, indie pop/indie rock quartet Dick Diver formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2008. Drawing inspiration from the emotionally rich pop of fellow countrymen the Go-Betweens, as well as the brainy guitar wrangling of Television and Yo La Tengo, guitarists Rupert Edwards and Alistair McKay, drummer Steph Hughes, and busy bassist Al Montfort (who also played with Total Control

CALENDAR DAYS by DICK DIVER
===========================
Note: I've written F for simplicity's sake -
it's generally an Fmaj7 (e.g. 1x3210) in the recording,
but either chord sounds good.

Am G C F
F G C /
VERSE 1:
Am G C
It's a high-beam drive and I think of you sitting at home
F G C
Your dad's TV Weeks stacked to the window
Am G
And before I knock I just catch your face
C F
Washed in a Panadol light
F G
I'd let you know that I'd be here
C
That's not my style
CHORUS 1:
D F C
And way all up and down the line
D F
Standard time, standard time
C F G
White metal on a wet, black drive
Am
They're all calendar days
F G
But you try to break out
BRIDGE:
Bb F
And that old best friend is a Zamels ad
C
Bleeding ink on wet pavement
G
Or blazing on a model hand
Bb
And there's a kind of quiet
F
A fighter jet's applause
C
They're all saw-toothed fragments
G
Scattered in an empty hall
VERSE 2:
Am G C
And I'm reminded of a rewinding cassette
F G C
As tyre rubber comes blooming around your legs
Am G C F
And I'm waking up and the sky is pure appliance white
F G C
A day as true as TV cop flashbacks
CHORUS 2:
D F C
And way all up and down the line
D F
Standard time, standard time
C F G
White metal on a wet, black drive
Am
They're all calendar days
F G
But you try to break out
