The Only Exception chords by Maria Freitas

Chords with lyrics

Key:           E MajorE BB
When I was younger I saw my daddy
 F# minorF#m        E MajorE
cry and curse at the wind.
   BB
He broke his own heart and
             F# minorF#m    E MajorE
I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
   BB
And my mamma swore she would
      F# minorF#m    E MajorE
never let herself forget.
   BB
And that was the day that I promised
          F# minorF#m        E7E7
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
But darling..

Chorus:
 BB
You are the only exception
 F# minorF#m    E MajorE
You are the only exception
 BB
You are the only exception
 F# minorF#m    E MajorE
You are the only exception

 BB
Maybe I know somewhere deep in
  F# minorF#m         E MajorE
my soul that love never lasts.
   BB
And we've got to find other ways
       F# minorF#m           E MajorE
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
  BB
And I've always lived like this
      F# minorF#m     E MajorE
keeping a comfortable, distance.
  BB
And up until now I swored to myself
       F# minorF#m       E MajorE
that I'm content with loneliness,

'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
   BB
But you are the only exception
 F# minorF#m    E MajorE
You are the only exception
 BB
You are the only exception
 F#m6F#m6    E MajorE
You are the only exception

(C# minorC#m BB F#F#) (2x)

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

Chorus 2x:

  A9A9  E MajorE        BB
And I'm on my way to believing
  A augmentedA  E MajorE        BB
