Tom: D
G D G D D
[Verse 1]
D
Well baby lay down your pride-sprayed poems
Em D
While I sit and mumble at your feet
D
Am I a stone or a stoned kid dreaming
Em D
Of a closet full of crumbled tees
[Verse 2]
D
Young and hungry, dark blue and clumsy
Em D
Dumb enough to let you go
D Em
Outside the show drinking Nyquil and honey
D
Trying to conjure up some rock and roll
[Chorus]
G D
You're the exception, dear, I'm the rule
G D
I traded love for a song like a fool
Em E/F# G
I'm always drawn to the wrong thing to do
G/F# A
And I keep proving it
[Verse 3]
D
The sky came apart with my guilt-stricken heart
Em
Break me down, break me up
D
We'll let freedom ring while the blacktop sings
Em D
In the sad baptist rain for us
[Chorus]
G D
You're the exception, dear, I'm the rule
G D
I traded love for a song like a fool
Em E/F# G
I'm always drawn to the wrong thing to do
G/F# A
And I keep proving it
[Chorus]
G D
We're the exception, dear, I'm the rule
G D
I traded love for a song like a fool
Em E/F# G
I'm always drawn to the wrong thing to do
G/F# A
And I keep proving it
[Chorus]
G D
The devil ain't nearly as real as he seems
G D
Your name is a number I see in my dreams
Em E/F# G
Your heart is a dangerous, beautiful thing
G/F# A
I keep losing it
