Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between A major and F# minor because it comes to rest on A and it opens on F#m. Try reading the chords both ways and see which feels more like home to you.
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). 6 different chords appear 40 times in total; 6 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 Bm7 → E, heard 5 times. From the A side it reads ii7 → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the F#m side it is iv7 → VII. 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 F#m7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are C#m7, Bm7, E, F#m7; read them as iii7–ii7–V–vi7 in A or v7–iv7–VII–i7 in F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bm7 → E (ii7 → V in A, iv7 → VII in F#m): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. It closes on Amaj7, letting the A side have the last word.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
