How to play Summer of Love: key, chords and progression

Summer of Love by Shawn Mendes, Tainy keeps coming home to F♯ major (six sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯, E♯). You need 4 chords: B, G#m, D#m and F#.

Most of the song cycles through B – G#m – D#m – F# (IV – ii – vi – I in F♯ major). In solfa, that is fah – reh – lah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes G, Em, Bm, D (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
