 could do this on my own, own

How to play If I Hated You: key, chords and progression

If I Hated You by FLETCHER keeps coming home to B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 3 chords: Bm, D and G.

Most of the song cycles through Bm – D – G – Bm (i – III – VI – i in B minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes Em, G, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
