How to play Sober: key, chords and progression

Sober by Bazzi is built around B♭ major (two flats: B♭, E♭), with 5 chords in all: Eb, Gm, F, Bb and Cm.

The backbone of the song is Eb – Cm – Gm – Bb (IV – ii – vi – I in B♭ major). In solfa, that is fah – reh – lah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes C, Em, D, G, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
