All the other chords or tabs for this song are pretty much correct,
but this is the exact way Conor plays the chords in the song.
I figured it out from watching him play it at a show.

                   G7 (320001@1)                    Aminin (x02413@1)my dreaming, so I got out of it. And to my surprise my eyes were wide and 
   F (133211@1)                    D7 (xx0212@1)                                  Dalready (xx0232@1)open. Just my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had 

just been.

       C/G (3x555x@1)                            G (320003@1)                          FSo (133211@1)I dressed myself and left them, out into the gray streets. But everything 
                         G7 (320001@1)                  Aminseemed (x02413@1)different and completely new to me. The sky, the trees,
                    F (133211@1)                      D7houses, (xx0212@1)buildings, even my own body. And each person I encountered, I 
   Dcouldn't (xx0232@1)wait to meet.

       C/G (3x555x@1)                    G (320003@1)                                      
And I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health. I said "there is 
   F (133211@1)                                   G7nothing (320001@1)that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself." He said "Oh 
 Amin (x02413@1)                             F (133211@1)                        D7yes (xx0212@1)you can. Just hold my hand. I think that would help." So I sat with him 
                     Da (xx0232@1)while and then I asked him how he felt. 


             F (133211@1) Emin (022032@1)Amin (x02413@1)       F (133211@1)  Emin (022032@1)Amin (x02413@1)     F (133211@1)Emin (022032@1)AminHe (x02413@1)said, "I think I'm cured. No, in fact, I'm sure. Thank you stranger, for 
          Gyour (320003@1)therapeutic smile."
