Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C# minor side because it both starts and finishes on C#m and C#m is heard 21 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). 3 different chords appear 48 times in total; 3 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 B → C#m, heard 12 times. From the C#m side it is VII → i (Aeolian arrival: rises a whole tone into home); from the E side it reads V → vi (deceptive cadence: expected E, lands on C#m). 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, B, A — vi–V–IV from the E side, i–VII–VI 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 B → C#m (V → vi in E, VII → i in C#m): Aeolian arrival — rises a whole tone into home. The final chord is C#m; the ear comes to rest in C#m.
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.
