G Dm Cmaj7 G Dm Cmaj7 G Dm Cmaj7 When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind G Dm Cmaj7 He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it G Dm Cmaj7 And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget G Dm And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love Cmaj7 If it does not exist, but darling G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts G Dm And we've got to find other ways to make it alone Cmaj7 Or keep a straight face G Dm Cmaj7 And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance G Dm And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content Cmaj7 With loneliness because none of it was ever worth the risk G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 Am You are the only exception G D Am G D Am I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't G D Let go of what's in front of me here Am I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up G D C Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception G You are the only exception Dm Cmaj7 You are the only exception F C G And I'm on my way to believing F C G Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
