When i was younger i saw my daddy cry and curse at the
wind.
A Em
D
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to
re-assemble it.
A Em D
And my mamma swore she would never let herself forget.
A
Em
And that was the day that i promised I'd never sing of
love if it does not
D
exist. But darling..

A
You are the only exception
Em D
You are the only exception

A
You are the only exception
Em D A
You are the only exception

A Em
D
Maybe i know somewhere deep in my soul that love never
lasts.
A Em
D
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or
keep a straight face.
A Em D
And i've always lived like this keeping a comfortable,
distance.
A Em
D
And up until now I have swored to myself that I'm
content with loneliness,
A
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]

Bm Bm A E Bm Bm A E

Bm
I've got a tight grip on reality, But i can't
A E
let go of what's in front of me here.
Bm
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake
up,
A E
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
Bm
whoa

(Pause)

A
You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

And i'm on my way to believing

Oh, And i'm on my way to believing
