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, C#m is heard 16 times against 1 for E and the major V chord points straight at C#m. 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). 7 different chords appear 46 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of C#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from E, the same G#7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for C#m.
The move to watch is F#m7 → C#m7, heard 7 times. From the C#m side it is iv7 → i7 (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the E side it reads ii7 → vi7. 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 opening C#m7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. C#m7, F#m7, G#m7, B carry the song: vi7–ii7–iii7–V relative to E, i7–iv7–v7–VII relative to C#m. G#7 is the interesting twist: in E it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in C#m it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F#m7 → C#m7 (ii7 → vi7 in E, iv7 → i7 in C#m): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. The final chord is C#m7; the ear comes to rest in C#m.
