What I like to do is I pick out the first verse and first chorus and then I start strumming
when the second verse begins.
This is what I’m doing. It is not the exact same thing as what she is playing on the piano but
I think it sounds quite close.
Please note that it is a tab for the first version (with the capo on the 6th fret, see above).
And of course the chords are all relative to the capo.

She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm
When I strum in the second verse I’m making this muted sound by using my palm. The
picking pattern I’m doing is something like (C) d d d du (G) d d d du (D) d d d du d dududu
And in the chorus I mostly let the chords ring more. (C) d d d du (G)d dududu (D) d d d d d dududu
And (C) d d d du (G) Dudud dudu (D) d d d du udududu
To be honest I just do whatever feels right in the moment. ;)
