How to play HURT: key, chords and progression

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

Listen for D – Bm – G – D (III – i – VI – III in B 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 7th fret and play the shapes G, Em, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
