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