[B]When I was younger, I saw my daddy [F#m]cry and curse at the [Emaj7]wind

[B]broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to [F#m]reassemble [Emaj7]it

And　[B]my momma swore that she would never let [F#m]herself [Emaj7]forget

And　[B]that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of [F#m]love

If it does not [Emaj7]exist, but darling

 

[B]You are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

[B]You are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

[B]

 

maybe I know somewhere deep in my [F#m]soul that love never [Emaj7]lasts

And　[B]we've got to find other ways to make it [F#m]alone or keep a straight [Emaj7]face

[B]I've always lived like this, keeping a [F#m]comfortable [Emaj7]distance

And　[B]up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm [F#m]content　with [Emaj7]loneliness

Because [E]none of it was ever worth the risk

 

Well　[B]you are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

[B]You are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

[C#m]　[B]　[F#]　

[C#m]　[B]　[F#]

 

I've got a [C#m]tight grip on reality, but I can't

Let [B]go of what's in front of me [F#]here

I know you're　[C#m]leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me [B]with some kind of proof it's not a [F#]dream[Emaj7]

 

[B]You are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

[B]You are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

 

[B]You are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

[B]You are the only exception

[F#m]You are the　[Emaj7]only exception

 

[A]I'm on my [Emaj7]way to [B]believing

[A]I'm on my [E]way to believing[B]
