An Exception To The Rule By Dwight Yoakam GCGCadd9 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
