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

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

Chorus 2
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Db Db 
 
You are, the only exception

You   are, the only exception
