Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: A | A | Em | D  } 2 times

A
When I was younger,
               Em
I saw my daddy cry
                 D
And curse at the wind.
   A
He broke his own heart,
And I watched as he tried
   Em      D
To reassemble it.

    A
And my mama swore that
                    Em
She would never let herself
   D
Forget.
    A
And that was the day that I promised
                  Em
I’d never sing of love
                D
If it does not exist.

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     A
     You are the only exception.
           Em          D
     Well, you are the only exception.
           A
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Em          D
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: A | A

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

    A
And I’ve always lived like this,
          Em
Keeping a comfortable
D
Distance.
    A
And up until now
                                  Em
I had sworn to myself that I’m content
           D
With loneliness,

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           A
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Em          D
     Well, you are the only exception.
           A
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Em          D
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: Bm7 | Bm7 | A | E

Bridge:
              Bm7
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       A                           E
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 Bm7
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            A
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              E       D
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     A
     You are the only exception.
     Em          D
     You are the only exception.
     A
     You are the only exception.
           Em          D
     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.

    G         D            A
And I’m on my way to believing.
        G         D            A
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
