[Intro]
G G Dm C 2x
[Verse]
G Dm
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
C
and curse at the wind.
G
He broke his own heart
Dm C
and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
G Dm C
And my mamma swore she would never let herself forget.
G
And that was the day that I promised
Dm C
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
[Chorus]
G
But darling, you are the only exception
Dm C
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Dm C G
You are the only exception
[Verse]
Dm
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
C
that love never lasts.
G
And we've got to find other ways
Dm C
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
G
And I've always lived like this
Dm C
keeping a comfortable, distance.
G
And up until now I swored to myself
Dm C
that I'm content with loneliness,
G
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]
G
You are the only exception
Dm C
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Dm C
You are the only exception

Am
I've got a tight grip on reality,
