Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it opens on Bm and Bm is heard 14 times while D never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.
Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

The key pair is D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 5 different chords appear 62 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
The move to watch is F#m7 → Bm7, heard 8 times. From the Bm side it is v7 → i7 (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the D side it reads iii7 → vi7. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The opening Bm7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are F#m7, Bm7, Gmaj7, Em; read them as iii7–vi7–IVmaj7–ii in D or v7–i7–VImaj7–iv in Bm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on F#m7 → Bm7 (iii7 → vi7 in D, v7 → i7 in Bm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on Em, letting the D side have the last word.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
