[Verse 1]
             
When I was you

              
nger I saw my 

     
daddy cry
              
And curse at t

   
he wind

He broke his o

wn heart and I

 watched
              
As he tried to

        
 reassemble it


And my momma s

wore
              
That she would

           
 never let her

    
self forget

And that was t

he day that I 

promised
              
I'd never sing

          
 of love if it

          
 does not exis

t

[Chorus 1]
But darling,

You are the on

ly exception
        
You are the on


ly exception

You are the on

ly exception
        
You are the on


ly exception

[Verse 2]

Maybe I know s

omewhere
           
Deep in my sou


l
              
That love neve

  
r lasts

And we've got 

to find other 

ways
           
To make it alo


ne
              
Or keep a stra

     
ight face

And I've alway

s lived like t

his
          
Keeping a comf

        
ortable distan

ce

And up until n

ow I've sworn 

to myself
          
That I'm conte

              
nt with loneli


ness
        (Six strums down)
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

[Chorus 2]
     
Well you are t

he only except

ion
        
You are the on


ly exception

You are the on

ly exception
        
You are the on


ly exception

[Bridge]

I've got a tig

But I can't le

             
t go of what's

              
 in front of m

  
e here
              
I know you're 


leaving in the

 morning when 

you wake up
             
Leave me with 

              
some kind of p

              
roof it's not

[Chorus 3]

You are the on

You are the on

You are the on

[Chorus 4]

You are the on

You are the on
