"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. [x4]

And I'm on my way to believing.
        A#        F               C
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
