For the two verses, Tyler Joseph plucks single strings at a time.
I've done my best to show the order he does it in below.
At the end of the verse when he sings "Now I see intentions don't
mean much", he switches to a slow single down strum for each chord.
For the rest of the song he uses the strum pattern, the emphasis
on certain strums is hard to replicate but if you listen closely
you'll hear it.

Em
Say enough, say enough
G
Did I let her know, let her know
Bm Em C G
If I found my body in chains
B7 Em
I’d lay down and wait
C G Bm Em
And hope she looks for me
C D
And hope she looks for me
D
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

But I swear that I will give more than I take away
