Chord progression for "codeine crazy"?

F#m-E-Bm7-A

F#m ~ F#-A-C#
E ~ E-G#-B
Bm7 ~ B-D-F#-A
A ~ A-C#-E

enjoy

thanks for the response


i have a few questions about the progression it self. Hope u can help.

are most of the chords in major?

what is the progression using the I II III IV V VI roman numerals set?

what does the " ~ " mean?

im very new to theory and id like to learn
i read hooktheory.com book btw
 
as a Roman numeral progression it is either vi-V-ii7-I or i-bVII-v7-IV

if there is a "m" next to a note name the chord is minor
unless it is shown as mb5 (diminished triad e.g F#mb5 ~ F#-A-C) or m7b5 (minor 7 b5 or half-diminished 7th, e.g. F#m7b5 ~ F#-A-C-E)

if there is not then it is major
unless there is a "(#5)" next to it then it is an augmented chord
- #5 is presented inside the parentheses to distinguish the # that may naturally occur in some chord names
-- e.g. F#(#5) is F# augmented consisting of F#-A#-C#
-- whereas F#5 is a F# power chord consisting only of F# and C#

the number 7 indicates that there are four notes in the chord
- depending on context these are mostly going to be a minor 7th above the root of the chord
-- e.g. F#maj7 ~ F#-A#-C#-E# ~ 1-3-5-7
-- e.g. F#7 ~ F#-A#-C#-E ~ 1-3-5-b7
-- e.g. F#m7 ~ F#-A-C#-E ~ 1-b3-5-b7
-- e.g. F#m7b5 ~ F#-A-C-E ~ 1-b3-b5-b7
-- e.g. F#dim7 ~ F#-A-C-Eb (aka F#[sup]o7[/sup]) ~ 1-b3-b5-bb7
-- e.g. F#maj7#5 ~ F#-A#-C##-E# ~ 1-3-#5-7
-- e.g. F#7#5 ~ F#-A#-C##-E ~ 1-3-#5-b7
-- e.g. F#m7#5 ~ F#-A-C##-E ~ 1-b3-5-b7
-- e.g. F#maj7b5 ~ F#-A#-C-E# ~ 1-3-b5-7
-- e.g. F#7b5 ~ F#-A#-C-E ~ 1-3-b5-b7
-- e.g. F#m-maj7 ~ F#-A-C#-E# ~ 1-b3-5-7
-- e.g. F#m-maj7#5 ~ F#-A-C##-E# ~ 1-b3-#5-7
-- e.g. F#m-maj7b5 ~ F#-A-C-E# ~ 1-b3-b5-7
-- e.g. F#7sus4 ~ F#-B-C#-E ~ 1-4-5-b7
-- e.g. F#7sus4#5 ~ F#-B-C##-E ~ 1-4-#5-b7
-- e.g. F#7sus4b5 ~ F#-B-C-E ~ 1-4-b5-b7
-- e.g. F#maj7sus4 ~ F#-B-C#-E# ~ 1-4-5-7
-- e.g. F#maj7sus4#5 ~ F#-B-C##-E# ~ 1-4-#5-7
-- e.g. F#maj7sus4b5 ~ F#-B-C-E# ~ 1-4-b5-b7

C## = C double sharp sometimes written as Cx (we know it as D, but in the context of the F# chord name it must be C##)

the ~ is used to separate the chord name from the notes need to make that chord: e.g. F#m ~ F#-A-C# should be read as "F#m consists of F#-A-C#"

Thank you so much
