How to play Heartbeat: key, chords and progression

Heartbeat by Shawn Mendes is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 4 chords in all: Am, F, C and Dm.

Listen for F – C – Dm – C (IV – I – ii – I in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – reh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, C, G, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
