[Intro]
G# G# D#m C# 2x
[Verse]
G# D#m
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
C#
and curse at the wind.
G#
He broke his own heart
D#m C#
and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
G# D#m C#
And my mamma swore she would never let herself forget.
G#
And that was the day that I promised
D#m C#
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
[Chorus]
G#
But darling, you are the only exception
D#m C#
You are the only exception
G#
You are the only exception
D#m C# G#
You are the only exception
[Verse]
D#m
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
C#
that love never lasts.
G#
And we've got to find other ways
D#m C#
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
G#
And I've always lived like this
D#m C#
keeping a comfortable, distance.
G#
And up until now I swored to myself
D#m C#
that I'm content with loneliness,
G#
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]
G#
You are the only exception
D#m C#
You are the only exception
G#
You are the only exception
D#m C#
You are the only exception
[Solo]
A#m A#m G# D# 2x
[Bridge]
A#m
I've got a tight grip on reality,
G# D#
But I can't let go of whats part of me here.
A#m
I know you're leaving tomorrow, when you wake up,
G# D#
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream,
C# C#~
whoa
[Chorus]
G#
You are the only exception
D#m C#
You are the only exception
G#
You are the only exception
D#m C#
You are the only exception
[Chorus]
G#
You are the only exception
D#m C#
You are the only exception
G#
You are the only exception
D#m C#
You are the only exception
[Outro]
D#m C# G#
And I'm on my way to believing
D#m~ C#~ G#~
And I'm on my way to believing
