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, Bm is heard 13 times while D never appears 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 34 times in total; 3 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. C# acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. C is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is F# → Bm, heard 5 times. From the Bm side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the D side it reads V/vi → 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 backbone is Bm, Em, F#, G — vi–ii–V/vi–IV from the D side, i–iv–V–VI from the Bm side. 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 F# → Bm (V/vi → vi in D, V → i in Bm): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on F#, letting the D side have the last word.
