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

                    C           
 The kite tails and light shafts
           G                  
 There's a language in the sky
 
 Am F C 
    
           G                  
 There's a language in the sky
 Am F C 
    
           G                  
 There's a language in the sky
