Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between A major and F# minor because it opens on F#m and A is heard 8 times against 6 for F#m. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#m; 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 A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 8 different chords appear 80 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F#7 acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Dmaj7 → E, heard 6 times. From the A side it reads IVmaj7 → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home); from the F#m side it is VImaj7 → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic). 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 F#m7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is C#m7, Bm7, Dmaj7, E — iii7–ii7–IVmaj7–V from the A side, v7–iv7–VImaj7–VII from the F#m side. F#7 adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Bm. Keep an ear on Dmaj7 → E (IVmaj7 → V in A, VImaj7 → VII in F#m): IV → V — the lift that builds tension before home. Ending on C#m7, the song seals A as home.
