[Intro] A Em D9
A Em D9
A
When I was younger I saw my daddy
Em D9
Cry and curse at the wind
A
He broke his own heart and
Em D9
I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
A
And my mamma swore she would
Em D9
Never let herself forget
A
And that was the day that I promised
Em D9
I'd never sing of love if does not exist
But darling
A
You are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
A
Maybe I know somewhere deep in
Em D9
My soul that love never last
A
And we've got to find other ways
Em D9
To make it alone or keep a straight face
A
And I've always lived like this
Em D9
keeping a comfortable, distance
A
And up until now I swored to myself
Em D9
That I'm content with loneliness
Cause none of it was ever worth the risk
A
But you are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
( Bm A E )
( Bm A E )
Bm
I've got a tight grip on reality
A E
But I can't let go of what's 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
D9
Oooooh ooooooh
A
You are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
Em D9
You are the only exception
G9(#11) D9 A
And I'm on my way to believing
G9(#11) D9 A
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
