So I listened to it and I think it's pretty close, but I'll be honest, it may not 
be the exact way it's played. There aren't too many tabs for this song online (or 
any really) so I gave it a shot and this is how I play it. Good luck!
Pick an easy going strum pattern and then at the chorus make it more intense.
[Intro]  Em   A5   Cmaj7   A5  
[Verse 1]
EmSeems that I Bmhave been held, Cmaj7in some dreaming Bmstate
A Emtourist in the Bmwaking world, Cmaj7never quite aBmwake
EmNo kiss, no gBmentle word could Cmaj7wake me from this slumBmber
Em      Bm                  Cmaj7           Bm (hold let note ring)
Until I realise that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my Cmaj7fists, in my feet, in the A5hollows of my eyelidsEm  Bm  
                                          Cmaj7                A5     EmBm(hold)
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
[Chorus 1]
No more dreaming of the Emdead as if death itBmself was undoneCmaj7  Bm  
No more calling like a Emcrow for a boy, for a Bmbody in the gardenCmaj7  Bm  
No more dreaming like a Emgirl so in love, so in Bmlove
No more dreaming like a Cmaj7girl so in love, so in Bmlove
No more dreaming like a Emgirl so in Bmlove with the wrong worldCmaj7  Bm  
[Verse 2]
And EmI could hear the Bmthunder and Cmaj7see the lightning Bmcrack
EmAll around the Bmworld was waking, I Cmaj7never could go Bmback
Cause Emall the walls of Bmdreaming, Cmaj7they were torn right Bmopen
And Emfinally it Bmseemed Cmaj7that the spell was Bmbroken
And all my bones Cmaj7began to shake, my A5eyes flew openEm  Bm  
                 Cmaj7              A5             Em Bm (hold let note ring)
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
[Chorus 1]
No more dreaming of the Emdead as if death itBmself was undoneCmaj7  Bm  
No more calling like a Emcrow for a boy, for a Bmbody in the gardenCmaj7  Bm  
No more dreaming like a Emgirl so in love, so in Bmlove
No more dreaming like a Cmaj7girl so in love, so in Bmlove
No more dreaming like a Emgirl so in Bmlove with the wrong worldCmaj7  Bm  
[Chorus 2]
CSnow White's Dstitching up the circuitEmboards
Synapses Bmslipping through the hidden Cmaj7door
Snow White's Bmstitching up the circuitEmboard
[Chorus 1]
No more dreaming of the Emdead as if death itBmself was undoneCmaj7  Bm  
No more calling like a Emcrow for a boy, for a Bmbody in the gardenCmaj7  Bm
