Verse:
D G
Sunlight falls on your hands
C G Bb C
As you type, just something in my head
D G C
standing in, this empty space, your desk is gone
G Bb C
the wall still dark..from where it when
Chorus:
Bb C G F G F
This position is not open now for applicants
Bb
the application forms got shreaded
C
there were faulty wordin' in the documents
G
I can still hear you laughin'
F C
coming up the rickity stairs
G F C
laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air
G F C
grey smoke hung out like patches in your hair like fire
Bb C G
like birds inside a bell
Verse:
D G
I break those prows in back of my mind
C G Bb C
while the sun is out, no it's still up and the light is shining
D G
the season push and pull enough to get us through
C G Bb C
well my mind is open like a door to an empty room
Chorus:
Bb C G F G F
This position is not open now for applicants
Bb
the application forms got shreaded
C
there were faulty wordin' in the documents
G
I can still hear you laughin'
F C
coming up the rickity stairs
G F C
laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air
G F C
grey smoke hung out like patches in your hair like fire
Bb C G
like birds inside a bell
Outro:
C
if Somehow
Am
I'd have known
Am
i'd rather come down
C
with the ship
C
than be without you
Am
if only for the chance
Am
to hold you hand
C
to be your friend
C
I never got there last time
Am
i'd rather come down
Am
in this
C Am
the war is over, the war is over, the war is over
Am
and I'm waiting in the sinking ships
D G C G Bb C
D G C G
If only I had known
Bb C G
If only I had known
