How to play Postcard: key, chords and progression

Postcard by Troye Sivan is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 5 chords in all: C, F, G, Dm and Am.

Most of the song cycles through C – F – Dm – G (I – IV – ii – V in C major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – reh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, D, Am, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
