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