What you are playing
Chords for I can't handle change LIVE, laid out across its 3:03 exactly where they fall. Most of it sits in F major.

On a guitar there is a shortcut in one direction: transpose down by n and put a capo on fret n, and you are back at the original pitch while playing the easier shapes. That is what the capo line above is doing.
