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
