The whole song begins with...

... a strum on        ...then another strum
the 9th position      for another 4 beats...
for 4 beats...             |
     |                     |
     V                     V

...then with vigor...

  A (strum 4x)  [key of D]

...then...

  D, G, A
  D, G, A
  Bm, G, A, G, A
  Bm, G, A
 
  D, G, A "At the record company meeting..."
  ...

...then the aforementioned pattern repeats until the key change, where 
   from the last _A_ chord in the pattern slides down to the _F#_ chord and a
   similar pattern ensues with a different key.
  
  i.e.

  ...          "...you could walked away...couldn't you?"
  Bm, G, A    

  F#,          [down to B key]
  B, E, F#     "I touched you at the soundcheck..."
  B, E, F#
  G#m, E, F#
  G#m, E, F#
  ...
