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 18 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 60 times in total; 5 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.
The move to watch is Em → Bm, heard 12 times. From the Bm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the D side it reads ii → 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 Bm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Bm, A, Em, Gmaj7 carry the song: vi–V–ii–IVmaj7 relative to D, i–VII–iv–VImaj7 relative to Bm. 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 Em → Bm (ii → vi in D, iv → i in Bm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on A, the song seals D as home.
