The Only Exception Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][Dm][C]
[G][G][Dm][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]When I was younger
I saw my daddy [Dm]cry
And curse at the [C]wind
He [G]broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to [Dm]reassemble [C]it
And [G]my momma swore
That she would never let [Dm]herself for[C]get
And [G]that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of [Dm]love
If it does not ex[C]ist, but darlin'

[Chorus 1]
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my [Dm]soul
That love never [C]lasts
And [G]we've got to find other ways
To make it a[Dm]lone
Or keep a straight [C]face
And [G]I've always lived like this
And keeping it [Dm]comfortable, [C]distance
And [G]up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm con[Dm]tent
With loneli[C]ness

[Chorus 2]
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception

[Solo 1]
[Am][Am][G][D]
[Am][Am][G][D]

[Bridge 1]
I've got a [Am]tight grip on reality
But I can't
let [G]go of what's in front of me [D]here
I know your [Am]leaving in the morning,
when you wake up
Leave me [G]with some kind of proof
it's not a [D]dream, [C]oh

[Chorus 3]
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception

[Chorus 4]
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception
[G]You are, the only exception
[Dm]You are, the o[C]nly exception

[Outro 1]
And [F]I'm on my [C]way to [G]believing
Oh, and [F]I'm on my [C]way to [G]believing
