Fm7 G
There is a child sleeping near his twin
Fm7 G
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
Fm7 G
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Bb Cm
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
Fm7 G Fm7 G
Fm7 G
The love you lost with her skin so fair
Fm7 G
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Fm7 G
Her green eyes bloom goodbyes
Bb
With her head in her hands
Cm Fm7 G
and your kiss on the lips of another
Bb Cm Fm7 G
Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.
Gm7 Cm
Don't be like the one who made me so old
D7 Eb
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
Bb Cm
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
D7 Eb Fm7 G (repeat)
And nobody ever came...

Fm7 G
I feel afraid and I call your name
Fm7 G
I love your voice and your dance insane
Fm7 G
I hear your words and I know your pain
Bb Cm Fm7 G
Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Bb
Your eyes to the ground
Cm Fm7 G
and the world spinning round forever
Bb Cm Fm7 G
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...
This is based on the studio version. I'll do it, as usual, in sections. It's in (sigh of relief) standard tuning. And remember, ">" means slide, OK. (Just to avoid confusion, I don't mean use a slide like as in Last Goodbye; just slide your fingers between the frets indicated.)

This goes on in similar fashion underneath the vocals.
*The ascending chord bit ("Don't be like the one....") -- play each of
these chords for one bar (8 times in every bar; it's pretty easy timing).

* The Climactic Middle Instrumental Bit
(Yes, pedants, I know that something climactic usually comes at the end,
but Dream Brother ends anti-climactically and so I'm reserving the right
to call the middle bit climactic!)

[Two things to note in the above bit. First, at the beginning of that
2nd bar, another guitar hits the A on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string,
bends it up a tone and plays the "return" i.e. the down-bend. Second,
I hope I've counted out the right number of "B" notes in that last
little bit but I'd advise you to count it out yourselves!]

...and basically back into the "Don't be like..." stuff, then back into the intro arpeggio.
And then you're basically done.
