Yes! In E major: The four-chord pop progression (I → V → vi → IV) shows up in the chorus at 0:52 and 0:58. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (V → I → IV) shows up in the pre-chorus at 0:32 and 0:42. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
