Capo : 4th
[INTRO]
G   Dm   Cmaj7x2
[VERSE 1]
GWhen I was younger I saw my daddy Dmcry and curse at the wCmaj7ind
He Gbroke his own heart and I watched as he tried to Dmre-assemble Cmaj7it
And Gmy mama swore that she would never let Dmherself forCmaj7get
And Gthat was the day that I promised I'd never sing of Dmlove
if it does not eCmaj7xist, but darling
[CHORUS]
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exception
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exceptionG  
[VERSE 2]
Maybe I know somewhere deep in Dmmy soul that love nevCmaj7er lasts
And Gwe've got to find other ways to make it alDmone or keep a straight Cmaj7face
And GI've always lived like this, keeping a coDmmfortable Cmaj7distance
And Gup until now I had sworn to myself that I'm conDmtent with loneliCmaj7ness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
[CHORUS]
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exception
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exception
[BRIDGE]
AmWoaaaah GWoaaaDah AmHeyyyyy GWoaaaDahh
I've got a Amtight grip on reality, but I can't
Let Ggo of what's in front of me Dhere
I know you're Amleaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me Gwith some kind of proof it's not a Ddream, whoaC  
[CHORUS]
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exception
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exception
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exception
GYou are the only exception
DmYou are the Cmaj7only exception
[OUTRO]
And FI'm on my wCay to believingG  
Oh, and FI'm on my wCay to believing.G
