G Dm Cmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
G Dm Cmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it
G Dm Cmaj7
And my momma swore that she would never let herself forget
G Dm
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
Cmaj7
if it does not exist but darling
Chorus:
G
You are the only exception
Dm Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Dm Cmaj7 G
You are the only exception
Verse:
Dm Cmaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
G Dm Cmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone Or keep a straight face
G Dm Cmaj7
And I've always lived like this keeping a comfortable distance
G Dm Cmaj7
And up until now I've sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Chorus:
G
You are the only exception
Dm Cmaj7
You are the only exception
