B - - - - x 2 4 4 4 2

Each dash between chords represents 4 beats in the song.
The strumming pattern looks like this:
   ___ ___
|  | | | |

|  | | | | 
/  /-/ /-/ 
   These are 8th notes, if you couldn't tell. 

All 8th notes are to be played in a "swing" pattern.

So, each set of 8th notes should sound like an 8th note
triplet minus the middle note, for all of you band kids
and music-savvy people.

As you can see, the song is a simple--but beautiful--ballad.

	Intro


	Verse 1
When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,


	Chorus 1
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception


	Fill


	Verse 2
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance

And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk


	Chorus 2
Well you, are, the only exception
Well you, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception


	Interlude
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Ohh---


	Chorus 3
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception


	Outro
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

		Great song, have fun with it ^_^
