When I was younger I saw my daddy
F#m                   E
cry and curse at the wind.
B
He broke his own heart and
                         F#m          E
I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
     B
And my mamma swore she would
       F#m             E
never let herself forget.
B
And that was the day that I promised
           F#m                       E
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
But darling..

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

B
Maybe I know somewhere deep in
F#m                        E
my soul that love never lasts.
B
And we've got to find other ways
            F#m                       E
to make it alone 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 swored to myself
           F#m                 E
that I'm content with loneliness,
F#m
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.

But you are the only exception
F#m            E
You are the only exception

You are the only exception
F#m            E
You are the only exception

     C#m
I've got a tight grip on reality,
        B                        F#
but I can't let go of whats part 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.
