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