C Gm F
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
C Gm F
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
C Gm F
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
C Gm
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
F
if it does not exist but darling
CHORUS
C
You are the only exception
Gm F
You are the only exception
C
You are the only exception
Gm F C…
You are the only exception
VERSE2
... Gm F
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
C Gm
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight
F
face
C Gm F
And I've always lived like this keeping a comfortable distance
C Gm
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with
F
loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
CHORUS
C
You are the only exception
Gm F
You are the only exception
C
You are the only exception
Gm F C…
You are the only exception
Dm
I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't
C G
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 F
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream whoa
CHORUS
C
You are the only exception
Gm F
You are the only exception
C
You are the only exception
Gm F C…
You are the only exception
Bb F C
And I'm on my way to believing
Bb F C
Oh and I'm on my way to believing
