Attempt to capture chords to mimic the motion of the piano based on a live video from Warsaw:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usHOwH6YQsI

UPDATE: The official video has now been released (14 April 2023) and I have made some updates to these chords
to match the official video:

Capo 1 to play along with the official video.
No capo to play along with the originally linked live video.

Chords with asterisks indicate single strums. The chord maps indicated below depict the strings I believe
you would pick to mimic the piano part. Where I have indicated Dsus2 and D he adds either the open high E
string or the second fret to the picking pattern as he moves to the next chord. The notes in parentheses
indicate a pluck of the open high E string as a transition between the Bm7 and the Asus4 that follows.

[Intro]
   


[Verse 1]
            
I miss knowing

              
 what you're t

        
hinking,
             
And hearing ho

       
w your day has

 been,
           
  Do you think

         
 you could tel

             
l me everythin

   
g, darling
         
But leave out 

             
every part abo

       
ut him,
              
Right now you'

            
re probably by

       
 the ocean
             
While I’m stil

           
l out here in 


the rain
          
  With every d

          
ay that passes

             
 by since we’v

    
e spoken
          
It’s like Glas

            
gow gets farth

          
er from LA


[Pre-Chorus]
  (      
Maybe it’s s'p

           
osed to be thi

     
s way


[Chorus]
          
But oh my love
