[Intro]
G  G  Dm  Cmaj7  x2

[Verse 1]
G                                 Dm                    Cmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
   G                                                Dm          Cmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
    G                                      Dm         Cmaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
    G                                                  Dm  
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love
                Cmaj7            
if it does not exist, but darling

[Chorus]
G                         
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7         
You are the only exception
G                         
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7         G
You are the only exception

[Verse 2]
G                                 Dm                   Cmaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
    G                                         Dm                     Cmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
    G                                        Dm        Cmaj7   
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
    G                                              Dm              Cmaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

[Chorus]
      G                         
Well, you are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7         
You are the only exception
G                         
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7       Am
You are the only exception

[Instrumental]
(Am) Am  G  D
Am  Am  G  D

[Bridge]
           Am                                
I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
    G                           D   
Let go of what's in front of me here
              Am                                     
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
         G                                  D         C
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

[Chorus]
G                         
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7

You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7         
You are the only exception
G                         
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7         
You are the only exception

[Outro]
Fadd#11   C              G
And I'm on my way to believing
Fadd#11   C              G
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
