How to play Live Like A Dream: key, chords and progression

Live Like A Dream by 30 Seconds To Mars keeps coming home to F major (one flat: B♭). You need 3 chords: F, Bb and Dm.

Listen for F – Bb – Dm – Bb (I – IV – vi – IV in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes E, A, C#m (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
