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