The Reckoning

G                                C          G
There's some seeds you plant that never grow
G                                C          G
They fly away when the first winds start to blow
            C                   G
And what's the point of holdin' on
          C             G          D
To anything that might be gone too soon?
                 Am          D
You can try to fight the truth
                       Am         D
But time will always show you proof
               G C G G
The reckoning


[Verse 2]
G                            C     G
There's a gold watch in my dresser drawer
G                          C        G
It's the same one that my daddy wore
                 C         G
Back when he was thirty-two
                                C  G    D
When the world was bright but not brand-new
                             Am       D
The missing laughter of a messed up kid
                              Am       D
All the secrets that you can't keep hid
                   G    C    G
Oh, the reckoning


[Bridge]
                   F       C       G
And I fought for years to save  the crades
           F       C     G
And it's driving' me insane
        F         C        G
Oh but what kills me the most
             F               C       G
Is knowin' you don't even wanna change

[Verse 3]
G                            C     G
I see that sunburn on your left hand
                                  C      G
The one that used to hold your wedding band
                       C        G
You seem older than you ought'a be
                            C     G       D
And in your eyes I hear the saddest symphony
                     Am       D
And I know you can hear it now
                             Am             D
You finally caught up in that hollow sound

Oh, the reckoning

G C G


[Outro]
                              G C G
Caught up in the reckoning
                               G C G
Can't get out the other side
                               G C G
Caught up in the reckoning
