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.

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.

Am F C G (2 times)
Three PM[Am]
Blue as a [F]roadsign
With a bag and some [C]cheap wine
The [G]suns in my eyes
Be[Am]tween
The smoke trails of [F]aircraft
The kite tails [C]and light shafts
There's a [G]language in the sky
There are [Am]bones
Living (Hiding) under the [F]viaduct
Sleeping (Sweeping) down by the [C]railway line
Making [G]wagers with the day
There's a [Am]rumour
Dirty as a [F]chimney stack
Quiet as [C]roadkill
On the [G]northbound carriageway
And [F]who's gonna raise a hand
When all we were taught to do was [G]dance
[F]Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche
Am F C G (2 times)
Well they [Am]sold you
Back your [F]outrage
In a neat little [C]shrink-wrap
And a [G]beautiful face
And you [Am]think
That you've found your [F]purpose
While they've been trailing the [C]breadcrumbs
Of a [G]watertight case
So you're [Am]shouting
But you're shouting [F]softly
So no-one can [C]hear you
And get the [G]wrong idea
But be[Am]hind
The closing eye of the [F]tabloids
We will be [C]waiting
And [G]we'll say it clear
Cos [F]who's gonna raise a hand
When all we were taught to do was [G]dance
[F]Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche
Am F C G (2 times)
Three P[Am]M
Blue as a [F]roadsign
With a bag and some [C]cheap wine
The [G]suns in my eyes
Be[Am]tween
The smoke trails of [F]aircraft
The kite tails and [C]light shafts
There's a [G]language in the sky
[Am] [F] [C]
There's a [G]language in the sky
[Am] [F] [C]
There's a [G]language in the sky
