Wow, you're right! I typically reply to tab requests with a link to a reputable online source you can buy the authentic sheet music. That way you get the correct music & from a legal source. But in this case there just isn't anything on that song!
So, I listened & this is the basic chord progression.

A D
|--------------------------------------------|
|-2----2-2---2-2---3-3-3------------------|
|-2----2-2---2-2---2-2-2------------------|
|-2----2-2---2-2---4-4-4------------------|
|-0------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------|
That's 4x as the intro, then the verse is 2x followed by an open D chord for 2 measures.

The prechorus is F#min - E - A.
The chorus is a riff from F# for 2 measures, then A for 2 measures.
Then there's a turnaroun from A - D - C#/A - B min to A.
Then the form starts over.

You migh want to request this song in the song request forum!
