Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the A major side because A is heard 6 times against 5 for F#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from F# minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#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 A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 7 different chords appear 37 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. B, G# act as secondary dominants, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is C#m → F#m, heard 3 times. From the A side it reads iii → vi; from the F#m side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival). 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 first chord is C#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The chords that keep coming back are C#m, B, A, F#m; read them as iii–V/V–I–vi in A or v–IV–III–i in F#m. B adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to E. Keep an ear on C#m → F#m (iii → vi in A, v → i in F#m): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on C#m, letting the A side have the last word.
