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

Chorus 1
Ab Ab 
 
You are, the only exception
Ebm Ebm 
 
Db Db 
 
You   are, the only exception
Ab Ab 
 
You are, the only exception
Ebm Ebm 
 
Db Db 
 
You   are, the only exception
Ab Ab 
 
Ab Ab 
 

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

Chorus 2
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
Ab Ab 
 
You are, the only exception
Ebm Ebm 
 
Db Db 
 
You   are, the only exception
Ab Ab 
 
You are, the only exception
Ebm Ebm 
 
Db Db 
 
You   are, the only exception
