Dwight Yoakam - "An Exception To The Rule"

(Intro): G C G C
G C
Soft clouds all drift away
G C
And bright sunshine never stays
G C D Dsus4 D
Warm afternoons turn rainy, dark, and cruel
G C
A candle's glowing light will die
G C
The purest voices often lie
G C D Dsus4 D
And with love I've found that all the same is true

(Chorus):
C D7 G D/F# e
Even though I should know better, I guess we could maybe try
C D7 G
There is the risk of looking like a fool
C D7 G D/F# e
Oh, but I got a lucky feeling, just a hunch, don't ask me why
C D Dsus4 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 in sorrow school

(Repeat Chorus)
(Solo) Same as verses
(Repeat Chorus)
G C
Soft clouds all drift away
G C
And bright sunshine never stays
G D7 G
But you might be an exception to the rule
