Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C# minor side because it opens on C#m and C#m is heard 11 times while E never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from E major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to E or to C#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 E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 5 different chords appear 28 times in total; 5 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 G#m → C#m, heard 4 times. From the C#m side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the E side it reads iii → vi. 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 C#m, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is C#m, G#m, F#m, B — vi–iii–ii–V from the E side, i–v–iv–VII from the C#m side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on G#m → C#m (iii → vi in E, v → i in C#m): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Amaj7, the song seals E 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.
