Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B minor side because it comes to rest on Bm and Bm is heard 27 times against 8 for D. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from D major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
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). 5 different chords appear 78 times in total; 4 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 A → Bm, heard 9 times. From the Bm side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the D side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected D, lands on Bm). 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 E; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are Bm, E, A, G; read them as vi–V/V–V–IV in D or i–IV–VII–VI in Bm. E adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to A. Keep an ear on A → Bm (V → vi in D, VII → i in Bm): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. Ending on Bm, the song seals Bm as home.
