Hey, I was surprised to not see any tabs for this great song so there it is. I'm pretty sure it's correct.
I think he plays the chords with this pattern:
He finger picks these strings: A - G - B - A - B - G - A - G
Perhaps you can listen to the song to get your own feel.
Here are the chords and the chord progression though...
Em x--7--x--0--8--x-------------------------|
D x--5--x--0--7--x-------------------------|
G x--10-x--0--12-x // G* x--2--x--0--3--x-|

Em
When you feel

Your day has turned
G C
And life gets in your face
Em
When you feel
D
All light has gone
G C
And darkness fills your space
[Pre-Chorus]

Who do you turn to
D
Who do you call
G * C
To find the love you need
C
Before you stumble
D
Before you fall
G * Em
Turn to me
D
Turn to me
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause I see stars shining
Em D
Like a wish for every one of us
C G * D
I see silver linings everyday
C G
I see stars shining
Em D
A wish to grant us a miracle
C G *
There are billions of stars
D
In our millky way
G
So wish away
[Verse 2]
Em D
When you try your very best
G C
But chances slip away

And the heart beating in your chest
G C
Is broken for the day

[Bridge]
C
Now I've been low, so very low
G *
And I've had no place to go
Em D
And it felt like diamonds slipping through my hands
C
And I've been down, so very down
D
And I've been lost around this town
Em D
And sometimes no one understands
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause I see stars shining
Em D
Like a wish for every one of us
C G * D
I see silver linings everyday
C G
I see stars shining
Em D
A wish to grant us a miracle
