If you’re somewhat experienced with guitar, I would characterize this arrangement as easy to play. The tab is very short, and easy to read. Any bar chords are simply done using your first finger.

Intro, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus

Intro, Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Post Chorus

Intro, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Post-Chorus — Intro (End).
