and curse at the windC
He broke his own heart and I watchedGm

And my momma sworeGm

that she would never let herself forgetC
And that was the day that I promisedGm
F
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darlingC
You are the only exceptionGm
F
You are the only exceptionC
You are the only exceptionGm

C
You are the only exceptionC

deep in my soulF
that love never lastsC
And we've got to find other waysGm
to make it aloneF
Or keep a straight faceC
And I've always lived like thisGm
F
keeping a comfortable distanceC
And up until now I've sworn to myselfGm
F
that I'm content with lonelinessF
Because none of it was ever worth the riskC
Well you are the only exceptionGm
F
You are the only exceptionC
You are the only exceptionGm

when you wake upC

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dreamF
