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