Singing it along with this riff is difficult. the picking pattern is the same for all
the chords. listen to the song carefully
Haven't stopped your smoking yet
So I'll share your cigarette
Just to feel it in my fingers
Walk around 'til 3 am
Tell me what I know again
To keep myself from second guessing
All my silver dreams bring me to you
Hold the summer in your hands
'Til the summer turns to sand
We were staring at our ceilings
Thinking of what we'd give
To have one more day of sun
One day of sun
Silver dreams bring me to you
Silver dreams bring me to you
Silver dreams bring me to you

version 2
At the bottom I've put 2 ways of organizing the song, they say the same
thing but you can just use whichever is easier to you. I've labeled the two
verse chord shapes as an arbitrary "G" and "A",

version 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
The break down for
the song structure is based on how Taylor plays it on the album and live regularly;
when they play it acoustically, Taylor changes it up and plays the intro G only twice
or only 4 times (whether he plays it twice or four times varies by performance so you
can choose whichever you prefer), not the full 6 like on the album. Ryan plays a second
guitar line in the song that's just two chords throughout the song and a short/easy riff
during the chorus, which I'll add down at the bottom

For all of the second guitar line, you'll have to listen closely to get the timing
just right, but I tried to explain it as much as possible:
During the intro/bridges/outro, as Taylor plays the G structure riff, Ryan plays this
D chord
E|--17---17---17---17---|
B|--19---19---19---19---|
G|--19---19---19---19---|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|
During the verses, he plays the same D chord as Taylor plays the G structure riff,
but Ryan only plays it twice this time
E|--17---17-------------|
B|--19---19-------------|
G|--19---19-------------|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|
When Taylor plays the A structure in the verse, Ryan plays the second chord
(My guess is it's an E-7 )
E|--15---15---15---15---|
B|--17---17---17---17---|
G|--19---19---19---19---|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|----------------------|
During the first two choruses, this riff is repeated twice, the phrases start first in
middle of Taylor singing the word "silver" then again in the middle of "bring"
E|----------------------|----------------------|
B|----------------------|----------------------|
G|----------------------|----------------------|
D|----------------------|----------------------|
A|-10-10-7-----10-10-7--|-10-10--7-------------|
E|----------------------|----------------------|
For the third chorus after the short bridge, the riff stays the same when Taylor sings
"silver" and changes slightly the first time Taylor sings "bring," so it looks like
"Silver..."
E|----------------------|----------------------|
B|----------------------|----------------------|
G|----------------------|----------------------|
D|----------------------|----------------------|
A|-10-10-7-----10-10-7--|-10-10-7--------------|
E|----------------------|----------------------|
"Bring..."
E|----------------------|----------------------|
B|----------------------|----------------------|
G|----------------------|----------------------|
D|----------------------|----------7--9--7-----|
A|-10-10-7-----10-10-7--|-10-10-7--------------|
E|----------------------|----------------------|
Then it goes back to the regular riff for the last time they go through the chorus
E|----------------------|----------------------|
B|----------------------|----------------------|
G|----------------------|----------------------|
D|----------------------|----------------------|
A|-10-10-7-----10-10-7--|-10-10--7-------------|
E|----------------------|----------------------|

version 4
Capo: 12th fret
NOTE: Even though I say a capo on 12th. THAT IS NOT NEEDED.
If you listen to almost all of the live versions they do not have use on.
But if you listen to the studio version, there is defiantly something there
that sounds like it is played high up on the guitar. So I have tabbed that
section put.) It is literally just a octave higher guitar playing the same thing.
So basically if playing this with a group, you can just play the same thing
as usual with one person using a capo on twelfth.

Just to feel it in my fingers
Walk around 'til 3 am
Tell me what I know again
To keep myself from second guessing
All my silver dreams bring me to you
Hold the summer in your hands

Thinking of what we'd give
To have one more day of sun
One day of sun
Silver dreams bring me to you
Silver dreams bring me to you
