How to play Psycho: key, chords and progression

Psycho by Breaking Benjamin is written in F major (one flat: B♭) and moves through 5 chords: C, G, D#, A# and F.

The backbone of the song is C – G – D# – C (V – II – ♭VII – V in F major). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes A, E, C, G, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
