[Intro]

B    F#m  E  (x2)


[Verse 1]

B                                 F#m                   E
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind.
   B                                                F#m         E
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
    B                                       F#m         E
And my mamma 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 if does not
 E
exist. But darling...


[Chorus]

B
You are the only exception
F#m         E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m         E              B
You are the only exception


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

      B
Well, you are the only exception
F#m         E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m         E
You are the only exception


[Bridge]

C#m    B  F#  (x2)

           C#m
I've got a tight grip on reality,
                B                           F#
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
              C#m
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up,
         B                                  F#
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
   E
Whoa


[Chorus]

B
You are the only exception
F#m         E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m         E
You are the only exception

B
You are the only exception
F#m         E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m         E
You are the only exception


[Tag]
    A         E               B
And I'm on my way to believing
        A         E               B
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
