Chords

[Intro] E B F#m E [Verse 1]
B
When I was younger, I saw

         F#m     B            Emaj7
My daddy cry and curse at the wind

   B
He broke his own heart and I watched

               F#m   B    Emaj7
As he tried to reassemble it

    B
And my mama swore that she would

         F#m    B    F#m
Never let herself forget

    B
And that was the day that I promised

                  F#              B   E
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
[Chorus]
              B
But, darling, you are the only exception

            Emaj7
You are the only exception

B
You are the only exception

F#m         Emaj7          B
You are the only exception
[Verse 2] Maybe I know somewhere
           F#m                  Emaj7
Deep in 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         Emaj7
Keeping a comfortable distance

    B
And up until now, I had sworn

                   F#m                Emaj7
To myself that I'm content with loneliness

E
 Because none of it was ever worth the risk
[Chorus]
      B
Well, you are the only exception

F#          E
You are the only exception

B
You are the only exception

F#m         E
You are the only exception
[Instrumental] C#m7 C#m B F# x2 [Bridge]
           C#m7                              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#m7
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

         B                                  F#      E
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, oh
[Chorus]
B
You are the only exception

F#7          E
 You are the only exception

B
You are the only exception

F#7         E
You are the only exception
[Outro]
    A         Emaj7           B
And I'm on my way to believing

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