The Only Exception

Chords & Lyrics, etc. · v1

Intro:   G  G  Dm  Cmaj7  x2
 

G                                    Dm                                                     Cmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
   G                                                                                   Dm                   Cmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re. assem. ble it
        G                                                                    Dm            Cmaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
        G                                                                                 Dm                          Cmaj7
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love. if it does not exist, but darling
 

G                                             Dm               Cmaj7
You are the only exception. You are the only exception
You are the only exception. You are the only exception
 

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
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness


Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, you are the only exception You are the only exception
You are the only exception          You are the only exception
 

(Am) Am  G  D  Am  Am  G  D


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

Chorus x2 


    Fadd#11       C                        G       G
And I'm on my way to believing
             Fadd#11      C                     G
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
