In the verses, they’re on the 2 beat as normal.
The intro begins on the “and” of the 3 beat, which throws the entire thing off.
One and two and three (and/hit) four (and/hit)
The intro has to lead into a verse starting on the 1 beat, so you have to account for the time added.
The way I think of this is as if the F# G A B run at the end of the intro is the same as the one in the pre-chorus - super hard for me to explain. I struggled to figure this out for a while. Maybe try clapping out the beats through the entire intro - just don’t forget that the intro starts on the and of the 3 beat. Kind of hard to stay on, but if you do, you’ll be clapping on each up and down beat of the verse when you reach it.
EDIT: One thing I forgot you can do - listen to a version of the song with the nature intro... maybe the acoustic set summer tour warm up video - you’ll see where the intro starts etc. Wish this was not so confusing to explain, but Dave loves to mess around with the weirdest timings...
