Intro : B - F#m - Emaj7  x2

B                                 F#m                    Emaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
   B                                                F#m          Emaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
    B                                      F#m         Emaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
    B                                                  F#m
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love 
                Emaj7
if it does not exist, but darling

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

                                  F#m                   Emaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
    B                                         F#m                     Emaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
    B                                        F#m        Emaj7
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
    B                                              F#m              Emaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't 
    B                           F#
Let go of what's in front of me here
              C#m
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
         B                                  F#          E
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
