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