Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it both starts and finishes on Bm, Bm is heard 14 times against 5 for D and the major V chord points straight at Bm. 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). 6 different chords appear 40 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Bm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from D, the same F# is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for Bm. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Em → Bm, heard 6 times. From the Bm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the D side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
Starting on Bm, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Bm, Em, D, A; read them as vi–ii–I–V in D or i–iv–III–VII in Bm. F# is the interesting twist: in D it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in Bm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Em → Bm (ii → vi in D, iv → i in Bm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on Bm, the song seals Bm as home.
