Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between D major and B minor because D is heard 22 times against 19 for Bm and the major V chord points straight at Bm. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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). 10 different chords appear 127 times in total; 6 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. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. F is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is Em → Bm, heard 10 times. From the D side it reads ii → vi; from the Bm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic). 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 first chord is F#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is D, Bm, F#m, G — I–vi–iii–IV from the D side, III–i–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 Em → Bm (ii → vi in D, iv → i in Bm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on Em, the song seals D as home.
