An Exception To The Rule

By Dwight Yoakam

G Cadd9 G Cadd9

Cadd9 - X32033

G Cadd9

Soft clouds all drift away

G Cadd9

And bright sunshine never stays

G Cadd9 D

Warm afternoons turn rainy, dark and cruel

G Cadd9

A candle's glowing light will die

` G Cadd9

The purest voices often lie

G D

and with love I've found that all the same are true

Chorus:

C D

Even though I should know better

G G/F# Em

I guess we could maybe try

C D G

There is the risk of looking like a fool

C D

Aww, but I've got a lucky feeling

G D/F# Em

Just a hunch, don't ask me why

C D

You might be an exception to the rule

Sweet dreams can't be recalled

High hopes collapse and fall

As the sky keeps turning sadder shades of blue

The strongest promise finally breaks

And only leads to bigger aches

Are lessons that I learned at sorrow's school

Chorus

Soft clouds all drift away

and bright sunshine never stays

but you might be an exception to the rule
