How to play Two Broken Hearts: key, chords and progression

Two Broken Hearts by Rivers Cuomo is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 8 chords: C, Em, Am, G, F, G#, Cm and D#.

Most of the song cycles through Em – Am – G – F (iii – vi – V – IV in C major). In solfa, that is mi – lah – soh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F, G#, Cm and D# are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
