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, C#m is heard 7 times against 6 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 34 times in total; 4 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# is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for C#m. D# acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key. D is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is F#m → G#, heard 4 times. From the C#m side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the E side it reads ii → V/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. G#, C#m, E, D# carry the song: V/vi–vi–I–V/iii relative to E, V–i–III–V/v relative to C#m. G# is the interesting twist: in E it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in C#m it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F#m → G# (ii → V/vi in E, iv → V in C#m): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. It closes on G#, letting the E side have the last word.
