[Verse]
B F#m
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
E
and curse at the wind.
B
He broke his own heart
F#m E
and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
B F#m E
And my mamma swore she would never let herself forget.
B
And that was the day that I promised
F#m E
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
[Chorus]
B
But darling, you are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m E B
You are the only exception
[Verse]
F#m
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
E
that love never lasts.
B
And we've got to find other ways
F#m E
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
B
And I've always lived like this
F#m E
keeping a comfortable, distance.
B
And up until now I swored to myself
F#m E
that I'm content with loneliness,
B
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]
B
You are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception

C#m
I've got a tight grip on reality,
B F#
But I can't let go of whats part of me here.
C#m
I know you're leaving tomorrow, when you wake up,
B F#
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream,
E E~

[Chorus]
B
You are the only exception
