The verses are difficult because there's no lead guitar, but I'll put some sort of chords for them anyway.
Also you don't have to put the Am in, I don't think Rob does, but it makes a nice extra flourish I guess.
And the chords aren't in the exact place above the lyrics but hey it does the job. :)
Em I once spoke Dto a meter maidC
Em She said she Dliked the work Cbut not the pay
Em Writing tickeDts while you ruCn away??Em?Afraid D F
Em Said hey to aD polar bear C
Em Said he likedD it here but noCt over there
Em That’s whatD its like insidCe a dragon’s lair
The iEmce is fGading baAmck
EmIts like teaching architecture to an EskGimo
GYou can show him everytChing you know
C (Am) C
He still gonna build it out of snow
Emgonna take my long division down to MexGico
CI can divide …all night
Em D C x3

(Not as sure about the chords here. Corrections would be appreciated because they may be wrong)

Yeah!
The guitar solo is pretty easy so I'll just add it here. If you don't want to play the solo just play the
chorus chords.

Em G C (Am) C until the end then, and finish on Em. I haven't got any other lead guitar parts because
I haven't been able to work them out but I hope this is enough :)
