Notes: Words in brackets are what I hear her actually singing as opposed to
       how she's presented the written lyrics.

       Here are the box annoted chords in the first position.

                            F5 (barred)
             A5             I              C5              G5
           E O---+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  O---+---+---+  +---+---+-X-+
           B +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  O---+---+---+
           G +---+-X-+---+  +-X-+-X-+---+  O---+---+---+  O---+---+---+
           D +---+-X-+---+  +-X-+---+-X-+  +---+-X-+---+  O---+---+---+
           A O---+---+---+  +-X-+---+-X-+  +---+---+-X-+  +---+-X-+---+
           E O---+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  O---+---+---+  +---+---+-X-+

       Here are the exact same chords but played closer to how I
       think Thea's playing them , barred at the I'st, III'rd, and
       V'th positions.

             A5             F5              C5              G5
             V              I              III            III
           E +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  X---+---+---+  X---+---+---+
           B +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  X---+---+-X-+  X---+---+---+
           G +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+-X-+---+  X---+---+-X-+  X---+-X-+---+
           D +-X-+---+-X-+  +-X-+---+-X-+  X---+---+-X-+  X---+---+-X-+

            A5
    Three PM
              F5
    Blue as a roadsign
                        C5
    With a bag and some cheap wine
        G5
    The suns in my eyes
      A5
    Between
                        F5
    The smoke trails of aircraft
                   C5
    The kite tails and light shafts
              G5
    There's a language in the sky
              A5
    There are bones
                              F5
    Living [Hiding] under the viaduct
                                    C5
    Sleeping [Sweeping] down by the railway line
           G5
    Making wagers with the day
              A5
    There's a rumour
               F5
    Dirty as a chimney stack
             C5
    Quiet as roadkill
           G5
    On the northbound carriageway
        F5
    And who's gonna raise a hand
                                      G5
    When all we were taught to do was dance
    F5
    Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche

              A5
    Well they sold you
              F5
    Back your outrage
                     C5
    In a neat little shrink-wrap
          G5
    And a beautiful face
            A5
    And you think
                           F5
    That you've found your purpose
                                    C5
    While they've been trailing the breadcrumbs
         G5
    Of a watertight case
              A5
    So you're shouting
                        F5
    But you're shouting softly
                  C5
    So no-one can hear you
                G5
    And get the wrong idea
          A5
    But behind
                           F5
    The closing eye of the tabloids
               C5
    We will be waiting
        G5
    And we'll say it clear
        F5
    Cos who's gonna raise a hand
                                      G5
    When all we were taught to do was dance
    F5
    Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche
