Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

Verse1

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it

And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love

if it does not exist, but darling

Chorus

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Verse2

Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance

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

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Bridge

Woaaaah Woaaaah Heyyyyy Woaaaahh

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't

Let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

Chorus

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Outro

And I'm on my way to believing

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