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