The Only Exception
C Gm Am x2
C Gm
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
Am
and curse at the wind
C
He broke his own heart and I watched
Gm Am
as he tried to reassemble it
C
And my momma swore
Gm Am
that she would never let herself forget
C
And that was the day that I promised
Gm Am
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling
C
You are the only exception
Gm Am
You are the only exception
C
You are the only exception
Gm Am C
You are the only exception
C
Maybe I know somewhere
Gm
deep in my soul
Am
that love never lasts
C
And we've got to find other ways
Gm
to make it alone
Am
Or keep a straight face
C
And I've always lived like this
Gm Am
keeping a comfortable distance
C
And up until now I've sworn to myself
Gm Am
that I'm content with loneliness
Am
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
C
Well you are the only exception
Gm Am
You are the only exception
C
You are the only exception
Gm Am Dm
You are the only exception
C G Dm C G
Dm
I've got a tight grip on reality
C G
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here
Dm
I know you're leaving in the morning
when you wake up
C G
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
F
Woah
C
You are the only exception
Gm Am
You are the only exception x
