VERSE1
A augmentedA                 E minorEm          Dmaj7Dmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
  A augmentedA                        E minorEm     Dmaj7Dmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
  A augmentedA                   E minorEm     Dmaj7Dmaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
  A augmentedA                         E minorEm
And that was the day that I promised I’d never sing of love
        Dmaj7Dmaj7
if it does not exist, but darling

CHORUS
A augmentedA
You are the only exception
E minorEm     Dmaj7Dmaj7
You are the only exception
A augmentedA
You are the only exception
E minorEm     Dmaj7Dmaj7      A...
You are the only exception

VERSE2
                ...Em          Dmaj7Dmaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
  A augmentedA                     E minorEm           Dmaj7Dmaj7
And we’ve got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
  A augmentedA                    E minorEm    Dmaj7Dmaj7
And I’ve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
  A augmentedA                       E minorEm       Dmaj7Dmaj7
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
A augmentedA
You are the only exception
E minorEm     Dmaj7Dmaj7
You are the only exception
A augmentedA
You are the only exception
E minorEm     Dmaj7Dmaj7    Bm...
You are the only exception

BRIDGE
...A E MajorE B minorBm A augmentedA E MajorE
      B minorBm
I’ve got a tight grip on reality, but I can’t
  A augmentedA              E MajorE
Let go of what’s in front of me here
       B minorBm
I know you’re leaving in the morning when you wake up
     A augmentedA                 E MajorE     D MajorD
Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream, whoa

CHORUS
A augmentedA
You are the only exception
E minorEm     Dmaj7Dmaj7
You are the only exception
A augmentedA
You are the only exception

OUTRO
  G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA
And I’m on my way to believing
    G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
