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

Chorus 1

You are, the only exception
D D 
 
You are, the only exception
Am Am

You are, the only exception

D D 
 

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

Chorus 2
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
D D 
 
You are, the only exception
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
You are, the only exception
D D 
 
You are, the only exception
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
You are, the only exception

Em Em 
 
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
D D 
 
A A 
 
let go of what's in front of me here
Em Em 
 
I know your leaving in the morning,
when you wake up
D D 
 
Leave me with some kind of proof
A A

it's not a dream, oh
