Here is the sequence of chords used.

The song is in the key of B.

You can think of the chords, as always going back to E major. Its sort of the middle chord of the song.

​

​

Dear April…

F# -> E

B -> E

F# -> E

​

If you could take..

G#m -> E

B -> E

​

Like you took these strangers…

B -> E

F# -> E

​

Woke us up…

F# -> E

​

I believe that no matter what..

B -> E

F# -> E

F# -> E

F# -> E

​

If you can take two strangers…

B -> E

F# -> E

G#m -> E

​

And made us new…

D#m -> D#m (This chord is played twice in a row)

G#m -> D#m -> E

D#m -> E

G#m -> D#m -> E

D#m -> E

G#m -> D#m -> E

D#m -> E

G#m -> D#m -> E

D#m -> E

G#m -> D#m -> E

D#m -> E

G#m -> D#m -> E

D#m -> E

G#m… (The song cuts short)

If you just play these chords in this order you got it! (you may have to play some different inversions to make it sound better though)
