Note: Heather is normally played in key of F using C Em Am Fmaj7 Fm with capo 5. 
I paired these songs together simply because they have similar themes, 
a nearly identical strumming pattern and I love both of them.

Capo 4


[Heather]

    


I still rememb

er third of De

cember

Me in your swe

ater, you said

 it looked bet

ter
   
On me, than it

 did you, only

 if you knew
             
How much I lik

            
ed you, but I 

watch your eye

s

       
As she walks b

y
              
What a sight f

   
or sore eyes
              
Brighter than 

  
a blue sky
              
She's got you 


mesmerized
      
While I die


Why would you 

ever kiss me?
    
I'm not even h

alf as pretty
    
You gave her y

our sweater

It's just polyester
    
But you like h

er better

Wish I were He

[The Only Exception]

  

             
Maybe I know, 

              
somewhere deep

            
 in my soul th

              
at love never 


lasts
             
And we've got 

              
to find other 

              
ways to make i

            
t alone but ke

              
ep a straight 


face
             
And I've alway

              
s lived like t

              
his keeping a 

           
comfortable, d


istance
             
And up until n

              
ow I had sworn

              
 to myself tha

            
t I'm content 

           
with lonelines


s

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

     
But, you are, 

the only excep

tion
           
You are, the o


nly exception

You are, the o

nly exception
           
You are, the o

I've got a tig

ht grip on rea

lity
              
But I can't le

             
t go of what's

              
 in front of m

  
e here
            
I know your le

aving in the m

orning, when y

ou wake up
             
Leave me with 

              
some kind of p

              
roof it's not 

        
a dream, oh
