How to play Wilson Expensive Mistake: key, chords and progression

Wilson Expensive Mistake by Fall Out Boy is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 5 chords: D, A, E, B and G.

Most of the song cycles through E – B – G – D (V – II – ♭VII – IV in A major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 7th fret and play the shapes G, D, A, E, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
