B
When I was younger I saw my daddy
F#m E
cry and curse at the wind.
B
He broke his own heart and
F#m E
I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
B
And my mamma swore she would
F#m E
never let herself forget.
B
And that was the day that I promised
F#m E7
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
But darling..
Refrão:
B
You are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception
B
Maybe I know somewhere deep in
F#m E
my soul that love never lasts.
B
And we've got to find other ways
F#m E
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
B
And I've always lived like this
F#m E
keeping a comfortable, distance.
B
And up until now I swored to myself
F#m E
that I'm content with loneliness,
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
Refrão:
B
But you are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m6 E
You are the only exception
( C#m B F# ) (2x)
C#m
I've got a tight grip on reality,
B F#
But I can't let go of what's front of me here
C#m
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up,
B F# E
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
Refrão 2x:

And I'm on my way to believing
