G                                                    Dm7 
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry 
                         C
And curse at the wind 
     G                                                    
He broke his own heart and I watched 
                    Dm7           C
As he tried to reassemble it
       G                                               
And my momma swore she would 
             Dm7       C
never let herself forget 
      G      
And that was the day that I promised 
                       Dm7                    C
I’d never sing of love if it does not exist

                   G      
* But darling, you are the only exception 
Dm7           C
You are the only exception 
G
You are the only exception 
Dm7           C                   (Am         G  D)
You are the only exception

G                                                     Dm7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul 
                      C
That love never lasts
      G                  
And we’ve got to find other ways
                  Dm7                       C
To make it alone keep a straight face
       G            
And I’ve always lived like this
                Dm7          C
Keeping a comfortable distance
       G   
And up until now I had sworn to myself
                 Dm7              C
that I’m content with loneliness
              C
Because none of it was ever worth the risk *

              Am
I’ve got a tight grip on reality But I can’t 
     G                                    D
Let go of what’s in front of me here
                    Am
I know you’re leaving in the morning when you wake up 
              G                                              D            C
Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream Ohh~ *

       F             C                    G
And I’m on my way to believing
             F             C                    G 
Oh, And I’m on my way to believing
