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

And I'm on my way to believing
