You can play the C or not in the progression. Also, Karen’s voice matches
a C, rather than the A-D progression; but, there is tons of layering.

(C) A G
Sand in pockets and a strained household
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I also recommend drop-D tuning if you want to match the eery lowness of
Karen's voice. OR, a capo on the 2nd frets gives you the following chords:
G = F
Dsus2 = C
A = G
Enjoy!
