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