A                F#m
One October just came around
        Bm                 E
Just to shake the sky and move the ground
        C#m                  F#m               Bm       E
Just to strongly insist the wind should up and change
       A                      F#m
And it knocked down walls and bridges too
       Bm                    E
And it reached more people than we knew
       C#m                  F#m
And it left with nothing really
         Bm    E
Left the same

[Chorus]

A                 F#m
You called it the reckoning
         Bm                    E
And your voice came through unquestioning
             C#m           F#m
You said the universe is trembling
         Bm              E
Don't ya know, don't ya know?
          A               F#m
Cause you felt it coming long before
  Bm                       E
I walked you through your own front door
      C#m                    F#m
And I spent just a one night on your floor
Bm                    E
For a few nights in a row

[Verse 2]

A               F#m
Change ain't so sudden
        Bm            E
It just hides as it's coming
        C#m         F#m
Is this change or fruition
        Bm        E
Of some hope and ambition?
        A         F#m
Is this all repercussions?
         Bm            E
Was this grown out of something
        C#m              F#m
That we cursed, that we prayed for
        Bm             E
That we knew we could wait for?

[Chorus]

A                 F#m
You named it the reckoning
        Bm                E
In your perfect notebook lettering
C#m          F#m
One October leveling
       Bm     E
All we knew
        A                F#m
And you felt it coming long before
  Bm                 E
I kissed you on that dancing floor
        C#m               F#m
And you held me loose and I made sure
        Bm       E
To hold tight on you

A F#m

        D
Oh, I'm holding
        E                C#m
Oh, I'm holding tight on you
    F#m              Bm
I'm holding tight on you
          E                A
Girl, I'm holding tight on you
F#m D E C#m
Oh, oh
    F#m               Bm
I'm holding tight on you
          E                A
Girl, I'm holding tight on you
