B F#m Emaj7 When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind B F#m Emaj7 He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it B F#m Emaj7 And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget B F#m And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love Emaj7 if it does not exist, but darling Chorus: B You are the only exception F#m Emaj7 You are the only exception B You are the only exception F#m Emaj7 B You are the only exception Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul That love never lasts And we've got to find other ways to make it alone Or keep a straight face And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content With loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk Chorus: B You are the only exception F#m Emaj7 You are the only exception B You are the only exception F#m Emaj7 C#m You are the only exception 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#m 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, whoa Chorus - x2 A E B And I'm on my way to believing A E B Oh, and I'm on my way to believing You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  E  Em  Emaj7  F#  F#m  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
