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