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