Standard (EADGBE)

 If I am lost for a day, try to find me

 but if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me.

 All of the things that I thought were so easy,

 just got harder and harder each day.

 December is darkest, in June there's the light,

 but this empty bedroom won't make anything right.

 Well out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home

 who waits up for me all through the night.

Chorus

(Strum from bottom string up for the next part)

 calendar girl who's in love with the world, stay alive

 calendar girl who's in love with the world, stay alive

I dreamed I was dying as I so often do,

and when I awoke, I was sure it was true.

I went to the window, threw my head to the sky

and said; whoever is up there, please don't let me die.

Well I can't live forever, I can't always be

One day I'll be sad (?) on a beach by the sea

The pages keep turning, I mark each day with a cross

And I'll laugh about all that we've lost.

calendar girl who's is lost to the world, stay alive

calendar girl who's is lost to the world, stay alive

 January, February, March and in May, I'm alive

 June, July, Auguast, September, October, I'm alive

 November, December, Yeah all through the winter

I'm alive

 I'm alive
