"Isobel is a woman who was born in a forest from a spark, not a mother or a
father. When she grows up she finds that the pebbles on the forest floor are
actually baby skyscrapers. So when she is a fully grown woman she finds
herself living in the city. Most people in the city are run by their heads
& she is completely instinct driven, which doesn't match very well. So she
dances on tables naked & kisses the wrong people & falls in love with
them & makes a lot of emotional crashes. Isobel means well but ends up
doing a lot of harm so decides to go back to the forest."

Yes, it sounds better with capo on 2. Moreover, I suggest:
D Am D7/F#
When she does it she means to! u-uh! U-u-u-uhhh
D Am D7/F#
Moth delivers her message! u-uh! U-u-u-uhhh oh!
D Am F G
Unexplained on your collar! Crawling in silence. A simple excuse

I think it sounds closer to the actual song with capo on 2... and thanks for posting this! It sounds great acoustic!
