The Reckoning

 

A 
Goin' to California 
D              A 
Suitcase in my hand 
      E          F#m 
Never run away a boy 
             D           A 
When you can walk away a man 

A 
Pride it comes to find you 
        D                 A 
In your hopes and in your dreams 
       E                   F#m 
Like a thief who tells his lover 
         D        A 
He's got one last thing. 

      D 
Cause I can see the shadows 
       A          E 
At the foot of my door 
D 
I can see the faces 
           A           E 
They don't doubt us anymore 
D 
I can see it coming 
         A        E 
I pray I don't go blind 
       F#m           E 
In the middle of our reckoning time 

( A  D  A  E  F#m  D  A ) 

Verso 3: 
A 
Easy is a refuge 
            D             A 
And it's an easy place to be 
             E          F#m 
But when the sun shines on us 
              D           A 
What will the whole world think 


      D 
Cause I can see the shadows 
       A          E 
At the foot of my door 
D 
I can see the faces 
           A           E 
They don't doubt us anymore 
D 
I can see it coming 
         A        E 
I pray I don't go blind 
       F#m           E              A        F#m 
In the middle of our reckoning time 
       E             E 
In the middle of our reckoning time 

 

F#m                      E 
The nature of the broken 
                     A 
Spirit of the chosen 
   A     D F#m        E F#m 
We stand alone 
                              E 
A journey through the purpose 
                                  A 
The weight of when it's worthless 
    A     E     F#m 
The words don't show 
       E 
In the middle of our reckoning time
