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 I'd never sing of love
Cmaj7
if it does not exist, but darling
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 Cmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
G Dm Cmaj7
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
G Dm Cmaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
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
I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
G D
Let go of what's in front of me here
Am
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
G D C
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa
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
Fadd11 C G
And I'm on my way to believing
Fadd11 C G
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
