[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][Cm]
[G][F][G][Cm][Cm]

[Verse 1]
[G]When I was younger I saw
my daddy [Dm]cry and curse at the [C]wind
[G]He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried [Dm]to reassemble it[C]
And [G]Mama swore that she would
Never [Dm]let herself forg[C]et
And [G]that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of [Dm]love if it does not ex[C]ist
But, [D]darling,

[Chorus 1]
[G]you are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [C]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [C]only e[F]xception

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

[Chorus 2]
Well, [G]you are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [C]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [C]only e[F]xception

[Interlude 1]

[Am][Bm][C][D]

[Bridge 1]
I've got a [Am]tight grip on reality, but [Bm]I can't
Let [C]go of what's in front of me [Em]here[D]
I know you're [Am]leaving in the morning
when you [Bm]wake up
Leave me with [Em]some kind of proof
it's not [D]a dream, o[C]h

[Interlude 2]
[G][F][Em][Cm]
[G][F]
[C][Bm][Am][D]

[Chorus 3]
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [C]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [C]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
