Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the B major side because B is heard 20 times while G#m never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from G# minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to B or to G#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 B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 4 different chords appear 60 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. A is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is F# → B, heard 18 times. From the B side it reads V → I (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the G#m side it is VII → III. 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 C#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is F#, B, C#m, A — V–I–ii–bVII from the B side, VII–III–iv–bII from the G#m side. A briefly darkens the picture: bvii — borrowed (mixolydian / parallel minor). Keep an ear on F# → B (V → I in B, VII → III in G#m): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on F#, the song seals B 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.
