  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.
