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