Usually I'm happy to use the work of others, but this one I couldn't find anywhere. 
I'm not very experienced in playing or writing down chords, so here it goes.
For a large part it sounds like a sequence of Dm D7 G Gm on repeat, although sometimes it is slightly 
different. Also, if you want to make it a little bit easier, you can play it as just Dm Gm. Also, you
can get away with playing Dsus4 as Dm and Asus4 as A.
