Post chorus:
(this is just like the verse except the first time he plays an F
instead of Dm)

etc., into the verse
I like to start strumming these chords in the outro. Instead of
--2-- Use --0--
--3----3--
--2----0--
--0----4--
------5--
---------
For guitar 2 strum the same chords voiced mostly openly with capo
on 1st fret. Relative to capo:
verse: C#m - A - E - Esus2 (or add 9, mess with it)
chorus: A - E - Esus2; A- E- Esus2- B
post chorus: E - A- E - Esus2; C#m - A- E - Esus2
