Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

Sunlight falls on your hands

As you type, just something in my head

standing in, this empty space, your desk is gone

the wall still dark..from where it when

Chorus

This position is not open now for applicants

the application forms got shreaded

there were faulty wordin' in the documents

I can still hear you laughin'

coming up the rickity stairs

laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air

grey smoke hung out like patches in your hair like fire

like birds inside a bell

Verse

I break those prows in back of my mind

while the sun is out, no it's still up and the light is shining

the season push and pull enough to get us through

well my mind is open like a door to an empty room

Chorus

This position is not open now for applicants

the application forms got shreaded

there were faulty wordin' in the documents

I can still hear you laughin'

coming up the rickity stairs

laughing as the springtime filled your lungs with air

grey smoke hung out like patches in your hair like fire

like birds inside a bell

Outro

if Somehow

I'd have known

i'd rather come down

with the ship

than be without you

if only for the chance

to hold you hand

to be your friend

I never got there last time

i'd rather come down

in this

the war is over, the war is over, the war is over

and I'm waiting in the sinking ships

If only I had known

If only I had known
