Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
G+G           C majorC
Soft clouds all drift away
G+G       C majorC
Bright sunshine never stays
   G+G        C majorC       D MajorD
Warm afternoons turn rainy dark and cruel
G+G               C majorC
A augmentedA candle's glowing light will die
  G+G       C majorC
The purest voices often lie
     G+G
And with love I've found that all the same
  D MajorD
is true

Chorus:
   G+G          D MajorD
Even though I should know better
    G+G       E minorEm
I guess we could maybe try
   C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
There is the risk of looking like a fool
       C majorC      D MajorD
Ah, But I've got a lucky feeling
    G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
Just a hunch, don't ask me why
  C majorC              D MajorD
You might be an exception to the rule

G+G            C majorC
Sweet dreams can't be recalled
   G+G           C majorC
High hopes can collapse and fall
    G+G         C majorC
As the sky keeps turning sadder shades of
D MajorD
blue
  G+G             C majorC
The strongest promise finally breaks
  G+G          C majorC
And only leads to bigger aches
  G+G       C majorC
Are lessons that I learned at sorrow's
D MajorD
school

Chorus:
   G+G          C majorC
Even though I should know better
    G+G       E minorEm
I guess we could maybe try
   C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
There is the risk of looking like a fool
       C majorC      D MajorD
Ah, but I've got a lucky feeling
    G+G      D MajorD    E minorEm
Just a hunch, don't ask me why
  C majorC              D MajorD
You might be an exception to the rule

You might be an exception to the rule

But you might be an exception to the rule
