The Verse, Pre-Chorus and Chorus all use the same chords.
The pattern for the Intro is:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 4
C#m E/G# E/G# A A B B C#m C#m E/G# E/G# A A
And the same pattern is continued through most of the song (except the Bridge).
Note about chords: E/G# is meant to be played as E major with a G# in the bass
