As recorded by Waylon Wyatt
(From the 2026 Album DUSTPILES)
Capo 1st fret
Intro
[C] [Am] [Dm]
Verse 1
[C]
There’s a light shining through my window pane
[C]
And it’s lighting up an old picture frame
[Am]
Where dust has started to take place
[Am]
Been a month or two since I’ve heard you say
[Dm]
I love you
Verse 2
[C]
Been a while since I’ve seen you grin
[C]
How that photo shows you happy back then
[Am]
Then again that wasn’t long before
[Am]
I found you on the floor cryin’
[Dm]
I’ve had enough of you
Chorus
[Am] [F]
And those tears they still cover up this floor
[C] [G]
But they’re mine this time instead of being yours
[Am] [F]
Come back my dear we can work this out I’m sure
[C] [G]
Ain’t no reason in leaving what we were fightin’ for
Interlude
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Verse 3
[C]
Well it’s time I realize my mistakes
[C]
How foolish of me to act that way
[Am]
Caught up in much more than myself
[Am]
Your love’s what oughta do me well
[Dm]
If I could only have you back
[Dm]
One more chance is all I ask
Chorus
[Am] [F]
Those tears they still cover up this floor
[C] [G]
But they’re mine this time instead of being yours
[Am] [F]
Come back my dear we can work this out I’m sure
[C] [G]
Ain’t no reason in leaving what we were fightin’ for
Interlude
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
Chorus
[Am] [F]
And all those years I’ve spent talkin’ to the Lord
[C] [G]
To find a light that shines half as bright as yours
[Am]
Me and my dear
[F]
Til death is what we swore
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
So ain’t no reason in leaving what we were fightin’ for
[C] [G]
Ain’t no reason in leaving what we were fightin’ for
Outro
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am]
