[Verse 1]
A Em D
When i was younger i saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind.
A Em D
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
A Em D
And my mamma swore she would never let herself forget.
A Em
And that was the day that i promised I'd never sing of love if it does not
D
exist. But darling..
[Chorus]
A
You are the only exception
Em D
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
Em D A
You are the only exception
[Verse 2]
A Em D
Maybe i know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts.
A Em D
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face.
A Em D
And i've always lived like this keeping a comfortable, distance.
A Em D
And up until now I have swored to myself that I'm content with loneliness,
A
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]
A
You are the only exception
Em D
You are the only exception
A
You are the only exception
Em D
You are the only exception
