Tab based on the excellent work from Jesx666.
Is different from the other acoustic tab, more correct in my view.
Furthermore its based on the 3FM live version on youtube, available here:

He changes the chords around in the song, just try what sounds best for you.
In the verse he sometimes does a bass walkdown but without regular pattern throughout
the song. Ah well my first tab, so enjoy this awesome song!
It is played with Capo on 5th.
Chords:
G - 32xx33
G* - 3xxxx3 especially at beginning of verse and bridge, try it out
G** - 2xxx33 bass note walk down
Am7 - xx2x1x
C - x32x1x or x32x13 in chorus
Em7 - x22x33 or x22x3x
D - xxx323
Bm7 - 223212
Em - x22xxx

G Am7 Em7 Am7 G
No, my only goal is to see when I'm only fast asleep
Am7 Em7 C
It takes more than strength to find these peace of mind
D Em7
So I'll hold, hold, hold, hold it close
C Am7
To my heart beating with every step
D
Hold, hold, hold it close
Em7 C
He sleeps alone,
Am7 D Em7
He needs no army where he's headed cause he knows
C
That they're just ghosts
Am7 D
And they can't hurt him if he can see them
Em7 C
And I may go,
Am7 D Em7
To places I have never been to just to find
C Am7 D
The deepest desires in my mind

To make sense
Of what has long escaped us

That they're just ghosts

And they can't hurt him if he can see them

If in the morning I will be here and if so

Let it be known

I was worthy, I was worthy, I was...
