The Only Exception

(C)When I was younger I saw my Daddy (Gm6)cry and curse at the wind.

He (C)broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it.

And my Momma swore she would never let (Gm6)herself (Fmaj7)forget.

And (C)that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of (Gm6)love if it does not (Fmaj7)exist.

But darling, (C)you are the only exception,

(Gm6)you are the (Fmaj7)only exception.

(C)You are the only exception, (Gm6)you are the (Fmaj7)only exception.

(Fmaj7)Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my (Gm6)soul that love never lasts.

(C)We've got to find other ways to make it (Gm6)alone,

and keep a straight (Fmaj7)face.

And (C)I've always lived like this,

keeping a comfortable (Fmaj7)distance.

And (C)up until now, I had sworn to myself that I'm (Gm6)content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

(Fmaj7)only exception.

(Dm7)Oh.

(C)Oh. Hey, (Dm7)hey.

Oh. I've got a tight grip on reality,

but I can't let (C)go of what's in front of me (G)here.

I know you're (Dm7)leaving in the morning,

when you wake up,

leave me (C)with some kind of proof it's not a (G)dream.

Woah.

(C)You are the only exception, (Gm6)you are the (Fmaj7)only exception.

(C)You are the only exception, (Gm6)you are the (Fmaj7)only exception.

You are the only exception, (Gm6)you are the (Fmaj7)only exception.

(C)You are the only exception, (Gm6)you are the (Fmaj7)only exception.

And (Bb)I'm on my (F)way to believing.

Oh, and (Bb)I'm on my (F)way to believing.
