Intro: B F#m E [2x]
B F#m
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
E
And curse at the wind.
B
He broke his own heart and I watched
F#m E
As he tried to reassemble it.
B
And my momma swore
F#m E
That she would never let herself forget.
B
And that was the day that I promised
F#m E
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling...
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.
Melodi: B
B F#m
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
E
That love never lasts.
B F#m
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.
E
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 have sworn to myself
F#m E
That I'm content with loneliness.
C#m
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
B
Well you are the only exception.
F#m E
You are the only exception.
B
You are the only exception.
F#m E [C#m B F# [2x]]
You are the only exception.
C#m
I've got a tight grip on reality,
B F#
But I can't let go of what's in 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. Ooo
Repeat ^ [8x]
A E B
And I'm on my way to believing...
A E B
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing...
