Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Bb minor side because it opens on Bbm and Bbm is heard 8 times while Db never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Db major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; 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 Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 4 different chords appear 27 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Bm7 step outside the scale as colour chords.
The move to watch is Fm7 → Bbm7, heard 7 times. From the Bbm side it is v7 → i7 (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Db 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.
Starting on Bbm7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Gbmaj7, Fm7, Bbm7, Bm7; read them as IVmaj7–iii7–vi7–bvii7 in Db or VImaj7–v7–i7–bii7 in Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Fm7 → Bbm7 (iii7 → vi7 in Db, v7 → i7 in Bbm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Fm7, the song seals Db as home.
