INTRO
B F#m Emaj7 x2
VERSE 1
B F#m Emaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
B F#m Emaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
B F#m Emaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
B F#m
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
Emaj7
if it does not exist, but darling
CHORUS
B
You are the only exception
F#m Emaj7
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m Emaj7 B
You are the only exception

VERSE 2
B F#m Emaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
B F#m Emaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
B F#m Emaj7
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
B F#m Emaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Emaj7
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
CHORUS
B
You are the only exception
F#m Emaj7
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m Emaj7 C#m
You are the only exception

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa
