Hi, I had front row seat and watch Nancy Wilson play this.
I think these chords are correct. Then I watched videos to figure this out.
Listen to the acoustic version to get the right beat.
   A/F#(202220)
      B(x24400)
     C#(x46600)
open D (xx0232)
      D(x57700)
open E (022100)
Bar E  (x79900)
open A (x02220)
   Esus(02223x)
    F#m(044300)
This F#m is the one Nancy Wilson played at the concert I was watched and videos.
On that A/F# sometimes she would not put her finger on the B string so it would look 
like this (202200). When I play it I don't put my finger on the B string.

The story behind the song

"These Dreams" paints a picture of longing and a desire for clarity, as if trying to discern a beloved face through mist or the changing seasons. It speaks to a deep yearning to truly see and understand someone, perhaps a connection that feels just out of reach. This power ballad, written by Bernie Taupin and Martin Page, marked a new sound for Heart on their 1985 self-titled album, with Nancy Wilson taking lead vocals. It plays like a tender, searching exploration of love's elusive nature.
