Intro: C# | C# | G#m6 | F#maj  } 2 times

C#
When I was younger,
               G#m6
I saw my daddy cry
                 F#maj
And curse at the wind.
   C#
He broke his own heart,
And I watched as he tried
   G#m6    F#maj
To reassemble it.

    C#
And my mama swore that
                    G#m6
She would never let herself
   F#maj
Forget.
    C#
And that was the day that I promised
                  G#m6
I’d never sing of love
                F#maj
If it does not exist.

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     C#
     You are the only exception.
           G#m6        F#maj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C#
     Well, you are the only exception.
           G#m6        F#maj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: C# | C#

      C#
Well, maybe I know somewhere
           G#m6
Deep in my soul
                F#maj
That love never lasts.
    C#
And we’ve got to find other ways
            G#m6
To make it alone,
                  F#maj
Or keep a straight face.

    C#
And I’ve always lived like this,
          G#m6
Keeping a comfortable
F#maj
Distance.
    C#
And up until now
                                  G#m6
I had sworn to myself that I’m content
           F#maj
With loneliness,

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           C#
     Well, you are the only exception.
           G#m6        F#maj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C#
     Well, you are the only exception.
           G#m6        F#maj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Bridge:
              Ebm7
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       C#                          G#
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 Ebm7
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            C#
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              G#      F#maj 
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     C#
     You are the only exception.
     G#m6        F#maj
     You are the only exception.
     C#
     You are the only exception.
           G#m6        F#maj
     Well, you are the only exception.

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

    B         F#maj        C#
And I’m on my way to believing.
        B         F#maj        C#
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
