And the last chord is D Major, which they pick from the Parallel C Lydian Scale. 

Now we know the basic things of the song that will help us to understand the chord progression and music movement while studying the song. So let’s get started it. 

Intro-  In the intro, he uses the C Major chord, which is the root chord of the scale, and he plays this chord 8 times in 2 Bars. 

Verse- For creating the verse, he uses the root chord, which is C Major, as the first chord, then moved to the E7 chord, which is the dominant 7th chord, then went to the Dominant, which is G Major, and to complete the verse and to move the song to pre-chorus he used the F Major in the end. The Chord progression that we get from this chords sequence is-

Pre-Chorus- Pre-chorus is created with only 2 chords that are D minor (Supertonic Chord) and G Major, which is known as the Dominant chord. The chords move like 2525.

Note- The same chord progression he used in the interlude. 

Chorus-   In the first 2 bars of the chorus, he uses the 456 chord progression. In this chord progression, Chords move in ascending order.

Then he used the 4515654 chord progression. Here he used the 4th chord of the scale to continue the verse, then moved to the dominant chord, G major. Then after going to the C Major, he again uses the G Major Chord in this chord progression, but with a B base note that made it G/B slashed chord, then goes to the 6th chord, which is A minor, then again plays the G Major and to complete it, he uses the subdominant chord F major.

In the last part of the chorus, he used the G Major, A minor, again G Major, and then D Major Chord, which he borrowed from the C Lydian scale, which makes the chorus ending more melancholy.  

Same chord progressions he used in the other verses, pre-chorus, and choruses.
