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

Bb
the application forms got shreaded

C

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

if Somehow   

Am
I'd have known

i'd rather come down

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

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

        Am
and I'm waiting in the sinking ships
