How to play Floating: key, chords and progression

Floating by Alina Baraz ft. Khalid is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 11 chords in all: A, F#m, G#m7, C#m, F#m7, Amaj7, G#m, E, C#m7, C# and B.

Most of the song cycles through A – F#m7 – G#m7 – C#m (I – vi7 – vii7 – iii in A major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – te – mi. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes F, Dm, Em7, Am, Dm7, Fmaj7, Em, C, Am7, A (91% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 27% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
