🎹 You can find the full tutorial, along with thousands of your favorite songs at HDpiano.com
This piano part is built from just a handful of chords. It’s not quite the “4 chords of pop” (I, IV, V, vi). Instead of the vi chord (which would be D minor), the song frequently uses G minor, the ii in the key of F.

    Is the extra C in the video? I think I hear an extra note when listening to the studio version. But not sure that extra note is explained here. In the official video of the song on KZread it comes in around 6 seconds. I can listen to that part over and over.

    You either have to play your right hand an octave higher, or you have to eliminate some of the left hand where it overlaps with the right hand. The latter option sounds closer to the official recording.
