How to play Sextasy: key, chords and progression

Sextasy by Swae Lee is centred on B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 3 chords: Bm, G and F#m.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bm – G – F#m – Bm (i – VI – v – i in B minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Am, F, Em (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
