I'm just giving the basic chords because it would be
stupid to make such a simple yet beautiful song so complex.
The first part (D#m7) gets repeated throughout the song,
with the extension of a C# (9) and
a C (8) that gets alternated each time with the basic chord D#m7.
eg D#m7 x3 then D#m7 with #9 x3, again 3x D#m7 and then 3x with the added #8.
This part ends each time with a A#m.
The technique is muting/lifting all fingers off rhitmically so you create some sort of beat.
Also switching between upstroke or downstrum makes it dynamic.
Easiest thing to do is just listen.

|-7--------------7---------------7---------------6----|
|-6--------------6---------------6---------------6----|

When she sings "Listen girl" "Learn how to love yourself"
"Just fly on girl" and "cuz you're worth it" there is some sort of rapid breakdown.
Basically after the A#m you go to the D#m7 and slide to Fm7, and then you go back to A#m.
