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

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
