Cm
Yeniden, yeniden, yeniden
Yeniden, yeniden, yeniden
Ab
Uçacak kalbimin kuşları
Açacak kırılan kanatları
Cm
Gülümsedim göğe
Varmışçasına umudum
Ab
Yalnız başına gitmek cesaret isterdi
Korktum ve bile bile yanlışlarıma tutundum
Cm
Saf suya süründüm
Kirli kaldı ruhum arzuya büründüm
Ab
Merhem olmaktı hayalim yaralara
Olmadı savaş oldum mermi oldum namluya sürüldüm
Cm
Yandı yaralı yazı yeniden
Yazdı yaramı yazgım aman aman
Ab
Vurdu yeminlerimi biliyorum
Cm
Bilirim anlamak zor, kalmamak zor
Gidenleri anlamak zor
Ab
Yeniden uyanıp güne başlamak zor
Cm
Beni yazlara sor, ayazlara sor
Şu kirli beyazlara sor
Ab
Yeniden uyanıp güne başlamak zor
Cm
Sessiz kaldım
Ab
Düştüğüm o derin çukurun dibinde
Kayboldum
Cm
Kimsenin bilmediği bir gökyüzünde
Güçlü kaldım, ayakta
Ab
Tutundum daha sıkı tutundukça
Ellerimi kanatan o keskin umuda
Cm
Bilirim anlamak zor, kalmamak zor
Gidenleri anlamak zor
Ab
Yeniden uyanıp güne başlamak zor
Cm
Beni yazlara sor, ayazlara sor
Şu kirli beyazlara sor
Ab
Yeniden uyanıp güne başlamak zor

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C minor side because it opens on Cm and Cm is heard 10 times while Eb never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Eb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Eb or to Cm; 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 Eb major and its relative C minor (3 flats). 2 different chords appear 20 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
The move to watch is Ab → Cm, heard 9 times. From the Cm side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the Eb side it reads IV → 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.
The opening Cm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are Cm, Ab; read them as vi–IV in Eb or i–VI in Cm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Cm (IV → vi in Eb, VI → i in Cm): VI → i — falls a half step into home. Ending on Ab, the song seals Eb as home.
