Very easy song. I'll try and describe the intro & verse strumming pattern.
e-0<----0-0
B-0>----0-0
G-1<----1-1
D-2>----2-2
A-2<----2-2
E-0>----0-0
(Raked)
-|-0<----0-
-|-0>----0-
-|-2<----2-
-|-2>----2-
-|-2<----2-
-|-0>----0-
0-|-0<----0
0-|-3>----3
2-|-2<----2
2-|-0>----0

-0-|-0<----0-0-|
-3-|-2>----2-2-|
-2-|-2<----2-2-|
-0-|-2>----2-2-|
|-0<----0-0-|

The strumming matches the vocals. If its 4/4 timing, the rake lasts for three, and
the other two last for one. Hope you understand that.
Strumming is just normal for the chorus

I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
[Chorus]
