How to play Perfectly Wrong: key, chords and progression

Perfectly Wrong by Shawn Mendes is in the key of A minor (no sharps or flats). The song uses 8 chords: F, G, Am, B, D, A, E and C.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – G – Am – F (VI – VII – i – VI in A minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F and B are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
