There's a key change after the bridge which explains all the chords.
I play the D as an open chord at the very end, but you pretty much have to play it as a
power chord in the chorus after the key change in order to cleanly play the progression.
Song is pretty easy once you get the hang of playing all the chords, but feel free to ask
if you have any questions.
