How to play Sick: key, chords and progression

Sick by Charlie Puth keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 10 chords: B, F#, E, Em, C#m, G#m, A, F#m, Em6 and Em7.

Most of the song cycles through B – F#m – E – Em (V – ii – I – i in E major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – doh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes A, E, D, Dm, Bm, F#m, G, Em, Dm6, Dm7 (70% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
