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