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

Chorus 1
Eb Eb 
 
You are, the only exception
Bbm Bbm 
 
Ab Ab 
 
You   are, the only exception
Eb Eb 
 
You are, the only exception
Bbm Bbm 
 
Ab Ab 
 
You   are, the only exception
Eb Eb 
 
Eb Eb 
 

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

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