Reckoning words by Rob Button, music by Rob Button and Jim Moss © 1996

Gm Cm D

The paper beat me home last night, or should I say this morning?

Gm Cm A D D# G A D# D

I should've seen the kitchen light on, but I didn't catch the warning

It seems it's been a long time coming, brother It's not something I could dodge.

I can't blame it on another, this complaint she's 'bout to lodge.

Em F#m G A

Cause I reckon it's time for a reckoning, It's time I faced it without fear

For in her frustration she's beckoning for me to draw near.

G A Bm F#m

This one thing is true and so, I don't want to be a weak souled zero

Em A Bm Em A

I've got some things to do, I know, before I can be her hero

Repeat first verse
