How to play Lives: key, chords and progression

Lives by Scars on Broadway is in the key of A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 3 chords: E, F and Am.

The backbone of the song is F – E – F – Am (VI – V – VI – i in A minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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