The Exception

Capo: 3 fret Intro N.C. One, two, one, two, three, four, G Em Am D [Verse 1] G* N.C. Em I could live without so many things, Am I don’t need to drink anymore, D I don’t need to sleep no more, D Than three or four hours, G Em And if I didn’t have to talk to no one else, Am I’d be fine by myself, Cmaj7 With one exception to the rule. [Verse 2] G Em I could walk the snow without my shoes, Am I don’t need to sing the blues, D Or keep searching for clues, D About how you’re feeling. G Em And I don’t even need to be your only man, Am Just love me when you can, Cmaj7 One day I’ll understand, G I’m under your command. [Chorus 1] G C G And I could go for days and days, C Am Darling you would be amazed, D At all the tiny tragedies, D We drive right by. G D/F# Em No matter what I say or what I do, Am There’s only one thing true, Cmaj7 You’re the exception to the rule.

I don’t need to be on this plane, Em Or in this car, Am I’ve been both near and far, D Pretending to be a big star, D And never believing it. G Em I could walk the block right by your side, Am Our whole world a mile wide, Cmaj7 Until the day we died, G No darling don’t you cry. [Chorus 2] G C G And I could go for years and years, C Am Darling what I really fear is, D All the broken people, D That we pay no mind to.
