Does From the Bottom of My Broken Heart use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In G major: The four-chord pop progression (IV → I → V → vi) shows up in the chorus at 1:37 and 3:15. The big singalong loop: a little lift, a little heartache, and an easy way back home. The hopscotch progression (V → vi → I → IV) shows up in the intro at 0:09 and the chorus at 1:18. Three rising chord roots give this loop a lift before it hops back around. The three-chord I–IV–V progression (IV → V → I) shows up in the verse at 0:38 and 0:51. Three chords, plenty of mileage: home, a lift away, and the pull to come back.
