[Primeira Parte]

  B
When I was younger I saw my daddy
  F#m6                E7M
Cry and curse at the wind
     B
He broke his own heart and
                          F#m6       E7M
I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
     B
And my mamma swore she would
           F#m6       E7M
Never let herself forget
      B
And that was the day that
                              F#m6
I promised I'd never sing of love                                 
              E7M
If does not exist, but darling

 B
You are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception
 B
You are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception

[Segunda Parte]

B
  Maybe I know somewhere deep in
    F#m6                 E7M
My soul that love never lasts
     B
And we've got to find other ways
             F#m6                    E7M
To make it alone or keep a straight face
    B
And I've always lived like this
           F#m6         E7M
Keeping a comfortable, distance
    B
And up until now I swored to myself
             F#m6            E7M
That I'm content with loneliness

Cause none of it was ever worth the risk

[Refrão]

     B
But you are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception
 B
You are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception

            C#m9
I've got a tight grip on reality
                 B        
But I can't let go of what's
             F#6(11)
Front of me here
               C#m9
I know you're leaving in the morning

When you wake up
          B                                   
Leave me with some kind
                      F#6(11)  E7M
Of proof it's not a dream

[Refrão Final]

 B
You are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception
 B
You are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception

 B
You are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception
 B
You are the only exception
 F#m6       E7M
You are the only exception

    A9(11+)    E7M             B
And I'm on my way to believing
    A9(11+)    E7M             B
And I'm on my way to believing
