Change the first string to D#

*The way that Taylor plays the B chord in the solo, bridge and outro is different.
*At the end of verse 2, bridge and outro the way that Taylor plays the E7M chord is different.

[Intro]
B  F#m6  E7M  x2

[Verse 1]
B                                F#m6
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
                 E7M
And curse at the wind
B
He broke his own heart and I watched
               F#m6       E7M
As he tried to reassemble it

B
And my momma swore
                         F#m6    E7M
That she would never let herself forget
B
And that was the day that I promised
                  F#m6                E7M
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

[Chorus 1]
But darling,
B
You are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception

[Verse 2]
B
Maybe I know somewhere
           F#m6
Deep in my soul
                E7M
That love never lasts
B
And we've got to find other ways
           F#m6
To make it alone
                   E7M
Or keep a straight face
B
And I've always lived like this
          F#m6        E7M
Keeping a comfortable distance
B
And up until now I've sworn to myself
         F#m6               E7M
That I'm content with loneliness
        (Six strums down)
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

[Chorus 2]
     B
Well you are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception

[Solo]
C#m9  B  F#6

[Bridge]
C#m9
I've got a tight grip on reality
                B                           F#6
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
              C#m9
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
         B                                  F#6   E7M
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

[Chorus 3]
B
You are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception

[Chorus 4]
B
You are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception
B
You are the only exception
F#m6        E7M
You are the only exception

[Outro]
    A9        E7M         B
And I'm on my way to believing
        A9        E7m             B
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
