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

I've got a tight grip on reality,

But I can't let go of whats part of me here.

I know you're leaving tomorrow, when you wake up,
D# A#
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream,
