Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G# minor side because it opens on G#m, G#m is heard 4 times while B never appears and the major V chord points straight at G#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to B or to G#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 B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 9 different chords appear 20 times in total; 5 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of G#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from B, the same D# is V/vi, a secondary dominant heading for G#m. G#, Bb act as secondary dominants, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
The move to watch is D# → G#m, heard 2 times. From the G#m side it is V → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the B side it reads V/vi → 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.
The opening G#m lays a solid floor for everything that follows. G#m, C#m, E, D# carry the song: vi–ii–IV–V/vi relative to B, i–iv–VI–V relative to G#m. D# is the interesting twist: in B it is a chromatic chord (V/vi), while in G#m it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on D# → G#m (V/vi → vi in B, V → i in G#m): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on D#m, letting the B side have the last word.
