[Intro]
[G]  [G]  [Dm]  [Cmaj7]  x2
 
[Verse 1]
[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
 
[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
 
[Verse 2]
[G]                                 [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
 
[Chorus]
      [G]
Well, 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
 
[Instrumental]
([Am]) [Am]  [G]  [D]
 [Am]  [Am]  [G]  [D]
 
[Bridge]
           [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
 
[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
 
[Outro]
    [Fadd#11]   [C]              [G]
And I'm on my way to believing
        [Fadd#11]   [C]              [G]
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
