[Verse]
B
When I was younger I saw
E
My daddy cry and curse at the wind
B
He broke his own heart and I watched
F#m Emaj7 E
As he tried to reassemble ■ it
[Chorus]
B
And my mama swore that she would
F#m E
Never let herself forget
B
And that was the day that I promised
F#m E
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
B F#m
But darling you are the only exception
E B
You are the only exception
F#m
You are the only exception
E Emaj7
You are the only exception
B
Well ■ maybe I know somewhere
[Verse]
F#m E
Deep in my soul that love never lasts
B
And we've got to find other ways
F#m E
To make it alone or keep a straight face
B
And I've always lived like this
F#m E
Keeping a comfortable distance
B
And up until now I had sworn
F#m E
To myself that I'm content with loneliness
B
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
[Chorus]
F#m7
Well you are the only exception
Emaj7 B
You are the only exception
F#m
You are the only exception
F#m7 E
You are the only exception

[Bridge]
C#m7 C#m
I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't
B F#m
Let go of what's in front of me here
C#m7
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
B F#m E
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream oh ■
[Chorus]
B
You are the only exception
F#m E
You are ■ the only exception
B F#m7
You are the only exception
E B
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m7 E Emaj7 B
You are the only exception
F#m
You are the only exception
F#m7 E
You are the only exception
A E B
And I'm on my way to believing
A E B
Oh and I'm on my way to believing
