VERSE 1:

E                            G                Fmaj7 
When she sleeps, there is a fever dream, yeah

             E                        G            Fmaj7
It brings a night terror to harm this fragile bird

(@ "She..." Guitar 2 plays INTROa x4 here as well)
      E                                G              Fmaj7
She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah

             E                          G              Fmaj7
And with a wayward mind she struggles through the night


CHORUS 1 (+ fills)... NOTE: 77500x can also be played as an Am: 022000 (relative to the capo)

   All...            that I can do.....

   Is hope...        she makes it through...                 x1

             E                   G      Fmaj7 
Through the night, Through the night

             E                   G      Fmaj7 

VERSE 2:

       E                              G             Fmaj7 
These cold nightmares, they make her worse for wear

   E                           G         Fmaj7 
Lost in the dark, she's got a heavy heart

(@ "And..." Guitar 2 plays INTROa x4 here as well)
     E                      G            Fmaj7 
And when she wakes, In her fragile state

           E                           G            Fmaj7 
Well she calls my name, hoping that I keep her safe

   All...            that I can do.....

   Is hope...        she makes it through...                 x2


Following CHORUS 2 is the solo (which I refuse to tab lol... 
worst part of the song).  Continue with the E G Fmaj7 progression
like in the verse until the lyrics kick back in with Guitar 2 
behind it (playing INTROa) 

During Solo:  E G Fmaj7 x 2 

(@ "Through..." Guitar 2 plays INTROa  here as well)
             E                  G      Fmaj7 
Through the night, Through the night
             E                  G      Fmaj7 
Through the night, Through the night
