The Only Exception

1. When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it

And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love

if it does not exist, but darling

R: You are the only exception

Dmi Cmaj7

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

2. Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance

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

R: You are the only exception...

Ami

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't

Let go of what's in front of me here

Ami

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

R: You are the only exception...(2x)

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
