I can't find a live version of this one posted, but it sounds like this is the way Passenger is playing it,
with the capo on 4, in the official video (https://youtu.be/tVMCnvuCADg)
The C/B and G/B chords are walkdown chords from C to Am.

Verse 1
[C] [Fsus2]* [C]
Starry, starry night
[Dm]
Paint your palette blue and grey
[Fsus2]
Look out on a summer's day
[G6sus4] [C]
With eyes that know the darkness of my soul
[Fsus2] [C] [Fsus2]* [C]
Shadows on the hill
[Dm]
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
[Fsus2]
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
[G] [C]
In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus
[Dm] [G] [C] [C/B] [Am7]
Now I understand - what you tried to say to me
[Dm] [G]
How you suffered for your sanity
[Am7]
How you tried to set them free
[Dm7] [Fsus2]
They did not listen, they did not know how
[G] [C] [Fsus2]* [C]
Perhaps they'll listen now
Verse 2
[C] [Fsus2]* [C]
Starry, starry night
[Dm]
Flaming flowers brightly blaze
[Fsus2]
Swirling clouds in violet haze
[G6sus4] [C]
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
[Fsus2] [C] [Fsus2]* [C]
And the colors changing hue
[Dm]
Morning fields of amber grain
[Fsus2]
Weathered faces lined in pain
[G] [C]
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Chorus
[C] [Dm] [G] [C] [C/B] [Am7]
Now I understand - what you tried to say to me
[Dm] [G]
How you suffered for your sanity
[Am7]
How you tried to set them free
[D] [Fsus2]
They did not listen, they did not know how
[G] [C]
Perhaps they'll listen now
Bridge
[Dm] [G]
For they could not love you
[C] [G/B] [Am] [G6sus4]
Still your love was true
[F]
And when no hope was left in sight
[Fm]
On that starry, starry night
[C] [C/B] [Am7]
You took your life, as lovers often do
[Dm]
But I could have told you, Vincent
[Fsus2] [G] [C] [Fsus2]* [C]
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Verse 3
[C] [Fsus2]* [C]
Starry, starry night
[Dm]
Portraits hung in empty halls
[Fsus2]
Frameless heads on nameless walls
[G6sus4] [C]
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
[Fsus2] [C] [Fsus2]* [C]
Like the strangers that you've met
[Dm]
Oh the ragged men in ragged clothes
[Fsus2]
And the silver thorn of a bloody rose
[G5] [C]
Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Outro
[Dm] [G] [C] [C/B] [Am7]
And now I think I know - what you tried to say to me
[Dm] [G]
How you suffered for your sanity
[Am7]
And how you tried to set them free
[D] [Fsus2]
They did not listen, they're not listening still
[G] [C]
Perhaps they never will
