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