This is a fun one to jam along with. Make sure you play a full C chord (with G on the bottom) so you can just slide the shape up two frets to Dadd2/4. The D7sus at the end of the chorus is, honestly, a crude approximation; between the organ and backing vocals, pretty much every white key on the keyboard gets played. But Nick is playing a D, so that chord works well enough.
Note that right before the outro/solo section, the A, G and F are barred -- we're finally given full chords for G and F, adding to the climactic feeling. The solos are coming soon.
