This riff is an arpeggio of the D/F#, Am and Em chords and the good news is that this riff is repeated (in this order) throughout the whole song, including the choruses. There's one extra bit of chords at the bridge though:
BRIDGE (Play this twice)
Fmaj7 C G
Oh nothing else compares
Yep, it's pretty easy and sounds good.
