Intro: G Dm Cmaj7 x2 G Dm Cmaj7 When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind G Dm Cmaj7 He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it G Dm Cmaj7 And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget G Dm And that was the day that I promised Iʼd never sing of love Cmaj7 if it does not exist, but darling Chorus: G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts G Dm And weʼve got to find other ways to make it alone Cmaj7 or keep a straight face G Dm Cmaj7 And Iʼve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance G Dm And up until now I had sworn to myself that Iʼm content Cmaj7 with loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk Chorus: G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 Am You are the only exception G D Am G D Am Iʼve got a tight grip on reality, but I canʼt G D Let Go of whatʼs in front of me here Am I know youʼre leaving in the morning when you wake up G D C Leave me with some kind of proof itʼs not a dream, whoa Chorus: G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception F C G And Iʼm on my way to believing F C G Oh, and Iʼm on my way to believing.
