Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A major side because it comes to rest on A and A is heard 7 times while F#m never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F# minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
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). 5 different chords appear 32 times in total; 4 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 F#7 → Bm7, heard 4 times. From the A side it reads V7/ii → ii7 (secondary resolution: F#7 resolves a fourth up to Bm7); from the F#m side it is V7/iv → iv7. 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 Dmaj7, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are Dmaj7, C#m7, Amaj7, F#7; read them as IVmaj7–iii7–Imaj7–V7/ii in A or VImaj7–v7–IIImaj7–V7/iv in F#m. F#7 adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/ii — leads to Bm. Keep an ear on F#7 → Bm7 (V7/ii → ii7 in A, V7/iv → iv7 in F#m): secondary resolution — F#7 resolves a fourth up to Bm7. The final chord is Amaj7; the ear comes to rest in A.
