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). 2 different chords appear 34 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The opening Emaj7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Emaj7, D#m carry the song: IVmaj7–iii relative to B, VImaj7–v relative to G#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Ending on D#m, 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.
