How to play Only: key, chords and progression

To play Only by Imagine Dragons, think in C♯ minor (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). It takes 3 chords: A, C#m and B.

Listen for A – C#m – B – A (VI – i – VII – VI in C♯ minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, Bm, A (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
