Tom: D
D A D
When loving turns to parting I'm always first to leave
E A7
Cause when it comes to heartaches I'd rather give than to receive
D G E
I've never cried myself to sleep just prayin' I'll get through
G A7 D
I've never lost at love not counting you
[Chorus]
D G
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
A7 D
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exception to the rule
G E
I've never been nobody's fool
G A7 D
I've never lost at love not counting you
[Verse 2]
A D
I've never got down on my knees and thanked the Lord above
E A7
If He would only bring to me the one I'm dreaming of
D G E
Begging to be taken back and swearing I'll be true
G A7 D
Has never crossed my mind not counting you
[Chorus]
D G
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
A7 D
Not counting you I never have been blue
There's no exception to the rule
G E
I've never been nobody's fool
G A7 D
I've never lost at love not counting you
(Solo)
[Chorus/Ending]
D
There's no exceptions to the rule
G E
I've never been nobody's fool
G A7 D
I've never lost at love not counting you
A7 D
No, I've never lost at love not counting you
