[Verse 1]
DWell baby lay down your pride-sprayed poems
EmWhile I sit and mumble at your feDet
ADm I a stone or a stoned kid dreaming
OEmf a closet full of crumbled teDes
[Verse 2]
YDoung and hungry, dark blue and clumsy
DEmumb enough to let you Dgo
ODutside the show drinking NyqEmuil and honey
Trying to conjure up some rock and Droll
[Chorus]
YouG're the exception, dear, I'm the Drule
I tGraded love for a song like a fDool
I'm alEmways drawn to the E/F#wrong thing to Gdo
And G/F#I keep proving Ait
[Verse 3]
ThDe sky came apart with my guilt-stricken heart
BreEmak me down, break me up
WeD'll let freedom ring while the blacktop sings
In Emthe sad baptist Drain for us
[Chorus]
YouG're the exception, dear, I'm the Drule
I tGraded love for a song like a fDool
I'm alEmways drawn to the E/F#wrong thing to Gdo
And G/F#I keep proving Ait

ThGe devil ain't nearly as real as he Dseems
YouGr name is a number I see in my dDreams
YoEmur heart is a dangeE/F#rous, beautiful tGhing
