Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

Verse1

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind

 He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it

 And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget

 And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love

 if it does not exist, but darling

Chorus

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Verse2

 Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts

 And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face

 And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance

 And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Chorus

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Bridge

Woaaaah Woaaaah Heyyyyy Woaaaahh

 I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't

 Let go of what's in front of me here

 I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

 Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

Chorus

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Outro

 And I'm on my way to believing

 Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
