[B] When I was younger I saw my daddy [F#m] cry and curse at [E] the wind.
[B]
He broke his own heart
and I watched as he tried [F#m] to read a simple [E] letter.
[B] And my mama swore that she would never
[F#m] let herself [E] forget.
[B] And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing [F#m] of love if it does
not [E] exist.
But darling [B] you are the only exception.
[F#m] Oh you are [E] the only exception.
[B] Oh you are
the only exception.
[F#m] Oh you are [E] the only exception.
[B]
Maybe I know somewhere deep in [F#m] my soul that
love [E] never lasts.
[B] And we've got to find other ways to make it [F#m] alone or keep a [E] straight face.
[B] And I've always lived like this, keeping [F#m] a comfortable
[E] distance.
[B] And up until now I had sworn to
myself that I'm [F#m] content with [E] loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the [B] risk.
Well you are
the only exception.
[F#m] Oh you are [E] the only exception.
[B] Oh you are the only exception.
[F#m] Oh you are [E] the
[C#m] Only exception
I've

I [C#m] know you'll leave it in when you wake up
[B] Leave me with some kind [F#] of, it's not a dream
