First two tabs were a great start, riffing off of that I think this is what's actually 
going on for chords:


D                                 G
all the trees stood like skeletons
D                         G
silhouettes of spilled ink
D                                                       Bm
and the snows fell in sheets and got wrapped around our feet
                         A                                G
we built the fire evermore with winter beating at the door

D

D                                  G
brother's eyes were getting heavier
D                            G
his bony hands cold and white
D                                                           Bm
and I could hear his ragged breathing like the wind along a knife
                             A                          G
there beside him through the night, in the hum of candlelight
                     D
I no longer felt the time


D Bm D Bm


D
brother woke just after midnight
Bm
and he didn't make a sound
D                                                               Bm
and as he climbed from out of bed with severed rings around his head
    A                           G
his feet didn't touch the ground


                    A
I could feel it then
             Bm
a tiny miracle
                D
so I followed him
           G
into the woods
                       A
crossed beneath the trees
           Bm                 D
but only I left my prints in tow
             G
he was afloat
                 A
found a lonely tree
         Bm                     D
and tied himself within its limbs
                              G
and he said to me these words:
                       A
"don't you fear for me,
                           D
I am where I'm supposed to be."



and when I woke he was gone
G
and I was wrapped in blankets on the lawn
Bm
the sky was blue and my skin matched the hue
G
and I could hear mother crying in your room
A
from here on out I wear this face for both of us
