Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C# minor side because it comes to rest on C#m and C#m is heard 10 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). 4 different chords appear 30 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. D is borrowed from the parallel minor, adding a darker shade to the major side.
The move to watch is A → B, heard 4 times. From the C#m side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the E side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). 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 A, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The chords that keep coming back are C#m, D, A, B; read them as vi–bVII–IV–V in E or i–bII–VI–VII in C#m. D briefly darkens the picture: bvii — borrowed (mixolydian / parallel minor). Keep an ear on A → B (IV → V in E, VI → VII in C#m): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. The final chord is C#m; the ear comes to rest in C#m.
