F#m
Tutuklu kalmışım, nakışa benzeyen mühürlü gözlerinde
En içli şarkılarla bir rüyaya dalmışım
E
Nafile, avunamam ki hiçbir sazın bam teliyle
Unutamam ki, her nefes bu kalbe adını yazmışım
Dmaj7
Gittiğinde korkular hafızamda yer etmiş
Ve yokluğunda her bir duygu kursağımda birikmiş
C#7
Akreple yelkovanı hayalinle yürüttüm
Ben içimdeki seni özleminle daha da büyüttüm
F#m
Dalınca maziye bir sen kalırsın özümde
Güzel yüzün ve hoş seda... "Geçmişe dair."
E
Bakınca hep yarım, bu son değil, bu ayrılık
Yakışmamış bu boş veda... "Her günü kahir."
Dmaj7
Ve şimdi dört duvar, adınla sarhoşum
Ve her satırda çağlayan bu kalp... "Bir deli şair."
C#7
Gel, etme sevdiğim, bu hasret bize tuzak
Dudaklarından ayrı her mesafe bana uzak!
F#m E
Bir gelsen, bir görsen sersefil hâlimi
Dmaj7 C#7
Her yerde hüzün var, hayalin yetmiyor
F#m E
Bu başka, bu aşka hiçbir söz yetmiyor
Dmaj7 C#7
Bu dünyayı verseler, bir çift göz etmiyor
F#m
Bi gelsen...
F#m
Umuda yolculuk bu; gözlerinde beklemek
Ve depresif düşünceler sol yanımdan akın eder
E
Kimselerde huzur yok, sanki başka bir memleket
Sokaklarında, caddelerinde sürekli bir kara haber
Dmaj7
Dostlarım da sarmıyor; dillerinde çelişki
Onların da aşk dediği tek gecelik ilişki
C#7
Neslimiz mi tükenmiş, bak hiçbir çare bulamadım
Ve kalmamış bir insanoğlu; ben bu devre uyamadım
F#m
Dalınca maziye bir sen kalırsın özümde
Güzel yüzün ve hoş seda... "Geçmişe dair."
E
Bakınca hep yarım, bu son değil, bu ayrılık
Yakışmamış bu boş veda... "Her günü kahir."
Dmaj7
Ve şimdi dört duvar, adınla sarhoşum
Ve her satırda çağlayan bu kalp... "Bir deli şair."

Gel, etme sevdiğim, bu hasret bize tuzak
Dudaklarından ayrı her mesafe bana uzak!

Harmony analysis
The song opens on F#m and ends on F#m. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.

Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because it both starts and finishes on F#m, F#m is heard 11 times while A never appears and the major V chord points straight at F#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 4 different chords appear 38 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of F#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from A, the same C#7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for F#m.
The move to watch is C#7 → F#m, heard 9 times. From the F#m side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the A side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: C#7 resolves a fourth up to F#m). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
Starting on F#m, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are F#m, E, Dmaj7, C#7; read them as vi–V–IVmaj7–V7/vi in A or i–VII–VImaj7–V7 in F#m. C#7 is the interesting twist: in A it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in F#m it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on C#7 → F#m (V7/vi → vi in A, V7 → i in F#m): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. Ending on F#m, the song seals F#m as home.
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.
