Listen to it carefully to get the right tempo. The chords in the verses are strummed off the beat, whereas the chorus is taken on the beat. This is a nice switch and means that the chorus just drives through the song. Then there's that beautifully delicate bridge before the song winds itself up again and you're off and running... Enjoy!
