When I was younger I
F#m
saw my daddy cry
E
And curse at the wind
B
He broke his own heart and
I watched as he tried
F#m E
To reassemble it
B
And my momma swore that she
F#m E
would never let herself forget
B
And that was the day
that I promised
F#m
I'd never sing of love
E
if it does not exist
But darling
B
You are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m E
You are the only exception

B
Well maybe I know somewhere
F#m
deep in my soul
E
That love never lasts

And we've got to find other
F#m
ways to make it alone
E
Or keep a straight face
B
And I've always lived like
F#m
this keeping a comfortable
E
Distance
B
And up until now i swored
to myself that I'm
F#m E
content with loneliness
E
Because none of it was
ever worth the
risk Well...
