Intro – B F#m1 E1

Verse 1 B
When I was younger
F#m1
I saw my daddy cry
E1
And curse at the wind
B
He broke his own heart

And I watched
F#m1 E1
As he tried to reassemble it
B
And my momma swore that
F#m1 E1
She would never let herself forget
B
And that was the day that I promised
F#m1
I'd never sing of love
E1
If it does not exist
 Chorus B
You are the only exception
F#m2 E2
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m2 E2
You are the only exception

Verse 2 B
Maybe I know, somewhere
F#m1
Deep in my soul
E1
That love never lasts
B
And we've got to find other ways
F#m1
To make it alone
E1
Or keep a straight face
B
And I've always lived like this
F#m1 E1
Keeping a comfortable, distance
B
And up until now
F#m1
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
E1
With loneliness
2
E
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Bridge - C#m B F#

C#m
I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't
B F#
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#
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
 E2
Whoa

A E2 B
And I'm on my way to believing
A E2 B
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
