Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: B | B | F#m6 | Emaj  } 2 times

B
When I was younger,
               F#m6
I saw my daddy cry
                 Emaj
And curse at the wind.
   B
He broke his own heart,
And I watched as he tried
   F#m6    Emaj
To reassemble it.

    B
And my mama swore that
                    F#m6
She would never let herself
   Emaj
Forget.
    B
And that was the day that I promised
                  F#m6
I’d never sing of love
                Emaj
If it does not exist.

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     B
     You are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           B
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: B | B

      B
Well, maybe I know somewhere
           F#m6
Deep in my soul
                Emaj
That love never lasts.
    B
And we’ve got to find other ways
            F#m6
To make it alone,
                  Emaj
Or keep a straight face.

    B
And I’ve always lived like this,
          F#m6
Keeping a comfortable
Emaj
Distance.
    B
And up until now
                                  F#m6
I had sworn to myself that I’m content
           Emaj
With loneliness,

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           B
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           B
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: C#m9 | C#m9 | B | F#
              C#m9 | C#m9 | B | F#

Bridge:
              C#m9
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       B                           F#
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 C#m9
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            B
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              F#      Emaj9
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     B
     You are the only exception.
     F#m6        Emaj
     You are the only exception.
     B
     You are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.

     You are the only exception.
     Well, you are the only exception.
     You are the only exception.
     Well, you are the only exception.

    A         Emaj         B
And I’m on my way to believing.
        A         Emaj         B
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
