[expand for more] When we look at Kryptonite's chords, there are only three to learn. The whole song uses the same progression of Bm to G to A. This song is in the Key of B minor, so this would be a i-VI-VII (1--6-7) chord progression in that key. The thing about Kryptonite, and why using the same progression thru the whole song works, is that the dynamics change. We go from gentle arpeggiation to full on tearing power chords. This type of change (and vocal melody changes between sections) allows the song to never feel stagnant. I hope that you had some good takeaways from this lesson and it's helped to reinforce how simple your chord progressions can really be. 3 Doors Down had a mega-hit with this song, and there's no reason you can't write an equally great song!
