[Intro]
A Em Dmaj7 x2
[Verse 1]
A Em Dmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind.
A Em Dmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
A Em Dmaj7
And my mamma swore she that would never let herself forget.
A Em
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not
Dmaj7
exist. But darling..
[Chorus]
A
You are the only exception
G D
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
G D A
You are the only exception
[Verse 2]
Em Dmaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts.
A Em Dmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face.
A Em Dmaj7
And I've always lived like this keeping a comfortable, distance.
A Em Dmaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness,
A
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]
A
Well you are the only exception
G D
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
G D
You are the only exception
[Bridge]
Bm A E x2
Bm
I've got a tight grip on reality,
A E
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
Bm
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up,
A E
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
D
whoa
[Chorus]
A
You are the only exception
G D
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
G D
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
G D
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
G D
You are the only exception
[Outro]
G D A
And I'm on my way to believing
G D A
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
