How to play Rescue Me: key, chords and progression

Rescue Me by Marshmello feat. A Day to Remember is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 4 chords in all: E, C#m, G#m and B.

Listen for E – C#m – G#m – B (I – vi – iii – V in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – lah – mi – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, Am, Em, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 25% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
