The Only Exception

4 -5 5 5 -4 5 5 6 -6 6

When I was younger I saw my daddy
-4 -4 5 5 4 5

cry and curse at the wind.
4 5 -5 5 5 -5

He broke his own heart and
5 5 4 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 5 5

I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
5 5 -5 5 6/7 6 6

And my mamma swore she would
6 -6 5 -5 -5/-6 5 4

never let herself forget.
4 5 -5 5 5 -4 5 5 5

And that was the day that I promised
5 6 -5 5 5 -4 4 -5 5 5 4 4

I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
4 4 -4

But darling..
5 4 4 4 -4 4 4 -3
You are the only exception (x4)

5 -5 5 4 -4 5 6 -5

Maybe I know somewhere deep in
5 -5 5 5 5 4 5

my soul that love never lasts.
5 5 -5 5 5 -4 4 4

And we've got to find other ways
4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 5 4 5

to make it alone or keep a straight face.
5 5 -4 6 6 5 5

And I've always lived like this
6 -6 5 5 -5 5 6 4

keeping a comfortable, distance.
4 5 -5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5

And up until now I swore to myself
-5 5 -5 5 6 -5 5

that I'm content with loneliness,
5 5 -5 5 -4 5 -5 5 -5 5

'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.
