G Dm Cmaj7 x2
VERSE1
[G] When I was younger I saw my daddy [Dm] cry and curse at [Cmaj7] the wind
He [G] broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to [Dm] re-assemble [Cmaj7] it
And [G] my mama swore that she would never let [Dm] herself [Cmaj7] forget
And [G] that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of [Dm] love
if it does not [Cmaj7] exist, but darling
CHORUS
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only exception
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only [G] exception
VERSE2
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my [Dm] soul that love [Cmaj7] never lasts
And [G] we've got to find other ways to make it [Dm] alone or keep a [Cmaj7] straight face
And [G] I've always lived like this, keeping a [Dm] comfortable [Cmaj7] distance
And [G] up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm [Dm] content [Cmaj7] with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
CHORUS
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only exception
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only [Am] exception
BRIDGE
[D]
I've got a [Am] tight grip on reality, but I can't
Let [G] go of what's in front of me [D] here
I know you're [Am] leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me [G] with some kind of proof it's not a [D] dream, [C] whoa
CHORUS
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only exception
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only exception
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only exception
[G] You are the only exception
[Dm] You are [Cmaj7] the only exception
OUTRO
And [F] I'm on my [C] way to [G] believing
Oh, and [F] I'm on my [C] way to [G] believing.
