How to play Escape: key, chords and progression

These are Escape chords by Zara Larsson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Escape by Zara Larsson is built around F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯), with 10 chords in all: C#maj7, G#m, F#, F#m, F#maj7, C#m7, D#m, G#, D#m7 and C#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C#maj7 – G#m – F#maj7 – F#m (Vmaj7 – ii – Imaj7 – i in F♯ major). In solfa, that is soh – reh – doh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes Amaj7, Em, D, Dm, Dmaj7, Am7, Bm, E, Bm7, A (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
