Verse
B G#m
One October just came around
C#m F#
Just to shake the sky and move the ground
D#m G#m C#m F#
Just to strongly insist the wind should up and change
B G#m
And it knocked down walls and bridges too
C#m F#
And it reached more people than we knew
D#m G#m
And it left with nothing really
C#m F#
Left the same
[Chorus]
B G#m
You called it the reckoning
C#m F#
And your voice came through unquestioning
D#m G#m
You said the universe is trembling
C#m F#
Don't ya know, don't ya know?
B G#m
Cause you felt it coming long before
C#m F#
I walked you through your own front door
D#m G#m
And I spent just a one night on your floor
C#m F#
For a few nights in a row
[Verse 2]
B G#m
Change ain't so sudden
C#m F#
It just hides as it's coming
D#m G#m
Is this change or fruition
C#m F#
Of some hope and ambition?
B G#m
Is this all repercussions?
C#m F#
Was this grown out of something
D#m G#m
That we cursed, that we prayed for
C#m F#
That we knew we could wait for?
[Chorus]
B G#m
You named it the reckoning
C#m F#
In your perfect notebook lettering
D#m G#m
One October leveling
C#m F#
All we knew
B G#m
And you felt it coming long before
C#m F#
I kissed you on that dancing floor
D#m G#m
And you held me loose and I made sure
C#m F#
To hold tight on you
B G#m
E
Oh, I'm holding
F# D#m
Oh, I'm holding tight on you
G#m C#m
I'm holding tight on you
F# B
Girl, I'm holding tight on you
G#m E F# D#m
Oh, oh
G#m C#m
I'm holding tight on you
F# B
Girl, I'm holding tight on you
