How to play Don’t Change: key, chords and progression

Don’t Change by Why Don’t We is written in B♭ minor (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭) and moves through 4 chords: Ab, Bbm, Gb and Fm.

Listen for Ab – Bbm – Gb – Fm (VII – i – VI – v in B♭ minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes G, Am, F, Em (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
