VERSE1
Cmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
   Cmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
    Cmaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
    Dm
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
                Cmaj7
if it does not exist, but darling

CHORUS
G
You are the only exception
Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
G...
You are the only exception

VERSE2
                               ...Cmaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
    Cmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
    Cmaj7
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
    Cmaj7
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
G
You are the only exception
Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Am...
You are the only exception

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

CHORUS
G
You are the only exception
Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Cmaj7
You are the only exception

CHORUS
G
You are the only exception
Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Cmaj7
You are the only exception

OUTRO
    G
And I'm on my way to believing
        G
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
