B And my mamma swore she would F#m E Never let herself forget. B And that was the day that I promised F#m E Iʼd never sing of love if does not exist. But darling... Chorus: B You are the only exception F#m E You are the only exception B You are the only exception F#m E B You are the only exception B Maybe I know somewhere F#m E Deep in my soul that love never lasts. B And weʼve got to find other ways F#m E To make it alone or keep a straight face. B And iʼve always lived like this F#m E Keeping a comfortable, distance. B And up until now I swore to myself that F#m E Iʼm content with loneliness, B ʼcause none of it was ever worth the risk.
