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