Verse 1
Bb Bb 
 
When I was younger
Fm Fm 
 
I saw my daddy cry
Eb Eb 
 
And curse at the wind
Bb Bb 
 
He broke his own heart
And I watched
Fm Fm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
As he tried to reassemble it
Bb Bb 
 
And my  momma swore
Fm Fm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
That she would never let herself forget
Bb Bb 
 
And that was the day that I promised
Fm Fm 
 
I'd never sing of love
Eb Eb 
 
If it does not exist, but darlin'

Verse 2
Bb Bb 
 
Maybe I know, somewhere
Fm Fm 
 
Deep in my soul
Eb Eb 
 
That love never lasts
Bb Bb 
 
And we've got to find other ways
Fm Fm 
 
To make it alone
Eb Eb 
 
Or keep a straight face
Bb Bb 
 
And I've always lived like this
Fm Fm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
And keeping it comfortable, distance
Bb Bb 
 
And up  until now
Fm Fm 
 
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
Eb Eb 
 
With loneliness

Chorus 2
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Bb Bb 
 
You are, the only exception
Fm Fm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
You are, the only exception

You are, the only exception
Fm Fm 
 
Eb Eb 
 
You are, the only exception
