Listen to the song for the strumming pattern (pluck the G string and strums down twice for a simple version). For the last line of the intro to the chorus, in the line "One day the one you battle might be me", on "me" she plays a C and afterwards an Am along with the C, and then slides her finger up 1 fret from the Am and back again, maintaining the hold on the C: C, Am/C, Am+1/C, Am/C. In chart form it looks like this:
