Ben bu korkuyu bir türlü yenemiyorum

Hiçbir kere içimden söküp de halledemiyorum

Denedim oysa defalarca yine denedim

Kurşun gibi göğsüme saplanmış çıkaramıyorum
G#m
Kimseler anlamıyor beni
C#m7
Zaman olmadı öğretmenim
D#m7 Emaj7
Sen bu acıyı bir de bana sor
G#m
Geçmişe takılıp kalmışım
C#m7
Aklımı nelerle yormuşum
D#m7
Beceremiyorum şu yaşamayı
Emaj7
Beceremiyorum

Harmony analysis
Mavi Gri – Bir Şehri Sevmek (Simge Ozan Bayraşa): key and chord analysis
The song opens on G#m and ends on Emaj7. Its chords belong to both B major and G#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = E (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F# (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G# minor side because it opens on G#m and G#m is heard 11 times while B never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to B or to G#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.

Analysis
The key pair is B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 4 different chords appear 44 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- Emaj7 G#m BIVmaj7 → vi G#mVImaj7 → iVI → i ×10
The move to watch is Emaj7 → G#m, heard 10 times. From the G#m side it is VImaj7 → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the B side it reads IVmaj7 → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- B major pentatonic and G# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (B – C# – D# – F# – G#): start from B for a brighter phrase, from G# for a bluesier one.
- Over G#m, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over C#m7, land on C#, E, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over D#m7, land on D#, F#, A# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening G#m lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are G#m, C#m7, D#m7, Emaj7; read them as vi–ii7–iii7–IVmaj7 in B or i–iv7–v7–VImaj7 in G#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Emaj7 → G#m (IVmaj7 → vi in B, VImaj7 → i in G#m): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is Emaj7; the ear comes to rest in B.
