C                                 Gm                   Fmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
   C                                                Gm          Fmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
    C                                      Gm         Fmaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
    C                                                  Gm
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
                Fmaj7
if it does not exist, but darling


  C
* You are the only exception
Gm          Fmaj7
You are the only exception
C
You are the only exception
Gm          Fmaj7           C
You are the only exception


C                                 Gm                   Fmaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
    C                                        Gm                      Fmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
    C                                        Gm        Fmaj7
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
    C                                              Gm              Fmaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness


Because none of it was ever worth the risk


        C
* Well, you are the only exception
Gm          Fmaj7
You are the only exception
C
You are the only exception
Gm          Fmaj7       Dm
You are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
    C                           G
Let go of what's in front of me here
              Dm
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
         C                                  G         F
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
