Our reading: we can't honestly pick a side here — the song moves freely between D major and B minor. 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). 4 different chords appear 81 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is Em → A, heard 24 times. From the D side it reads ii → V (ii → V: the classic preparation of the dominant); from the Bm side it is iv → 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 song is already written in its easiest key for guitar.
The opening Em lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The chords that keep coming back are A, Em, G, E; read them as V–ii–IV–V/V in D or VII–iv–VI–IV in Bm. E adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to A. Keep an ear on Em → A (ii → V in D, iv → VII in Bm): ii → V — the classic preparation of the dominant. The final chord is Em; the ear comes to rest in D.
