[Intro]
F# F# C#m B 2x
[Verse]
F# C#m
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
B
and curse at the wind.
F#
He broke his own heart
C#m B
and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
F# C#m B
And my mamma swore she would never let herself forget.
F#
And that was the day that I promised
C#m B
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
[Chorus]
F#
But darling, you are the only exception
C#m B
You are the only exception
F#
You are the only exception
C#m B F#
You are the only exception
[Verse]
C#m
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
B
that love never lasts.
F#
And we've got to find other ways
C#m B
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
F#
And I've always lived like this
C#m B
keeping a comfortable, distance.
F#
And up until now I swored to myself
C#m B
that I'm content with loneliness,
F#
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]
F#
You are the only exception
C#m B
You are the only exception
F#
You are the only exception
C#m B
You are the only exception

G#m G#m F# C# 2x
[Bridge]
G#m
I've got a tight grip on reality,
F# C#
But I can't let go of whats part of me here.
G#m
I know you're leaving tomorrow, when you wake up,
F# C#
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream,
B B~
whoa
[Chorus]
F#
You are the only exception
C#m B
You are the only exception
F#
You are the only exception
C#m B
You are the only exception
[Chorus]

You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
