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.
[Interlude]
G Am D
Lalalalalai, la lai,
Em
Dadadadadada, dai,
Am
Ladadada, dai,
Dsus4 D
Da daaa daa—-aai,
G
La dai.
[Verse 3]
G* N.C.
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.
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.
[Interlude]
G Am D
Lalalalalai, la lai,
Em
Dadadadadada, dai,
Am
Ladadada, dai,
Dsus4 D
Da daaa daa—-aai,
G
La dai.
[Chorus 3]
G C G
And I could go for ever more,
C Am
Maybe we open a general store,
D
In some small town,
D
Where no one could find us.
G D/F# Em
No matter what I say or what I do,
Am
I can’t live without you,
Cmaj7*
Cause you’re the exception to the rule.
[Outro]
G Am D
Lalalalalai, la lai,
Em
Dadadadadada, dai,
Am
Ladadada, dai,
Dsus4 D
Da daaa daa—-aai,
Em Am D
Lalalalalai, la lai,
Em
Dadadadadada, dai,
Am
Ladadada, dai,
Dsus4 D
Da daaa daa—-aai,
Am
Lalalalalai,
G C G
Lalalalalai, lai.
