When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
F baritone chordF
and curse at the wind
C baritone chordC
He broke his own heart and I watched
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
as he tried to reassemble it

C baritone chordC
And my momma swore
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
that she would never let herself forget
C baritone chordC
And that was the day that I promised
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist


But darling
C baritone chordC
You are the only exception
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
You are the only exception
C baritone chordC
You are the only exception
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF C baritone chordC
You are the only exception

C baritone chordC
Maybe I know somewhere
Gm baritone chordGm
deep in my soul
F baritone chordF
that love never lasts
C baritone chordC
And we've got to find other ways
Gm baritone chordGm
to make it alone
F baritone chordF
Or keep a straight face
C baritone chordC
And I've always lived like this
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
keeping a comfortable distance
C baritone chordC
And up until now I've sworn to myself
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
that I'm content with loneliness

F baritone chordF
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

C baritone chordC
Well you are the only exception
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
You are the only exception
C baritone chordC
You are the only exception
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF Dm baritone chordDm
You are the only exception

C baritone chordC G baritone chordG Dm baritone chordDm C baritone chordC G baritone chordG

Dm baritone chordDm
I've got a tight grip on reality
C baritone chordC G baritone chordG
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here
Dm baritone chordDm
I know you're leaving in the morning

when you wake up
C baritone chordC G baritone chordG
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
F baritone chordF
Woah

C baritone chordC
You are the only exception
Gm baritone chordGm F baritone chordF
You are the only exception x

Oh and I'm on my way to believing
