Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: C | C | Gm6 | Fmaj  } 2 times

C
When I was younger,
               Gm6
I saw my daddy cry
                 Fmaj
And curse at the wind.
   C
He broke his own heart,
And I watched as he tried
   Gm6     Fmaj
To reassemble it.

    C
And my mama swore that
                    Gm6
She would never let herself
   Fmaj
Forget.
    C
And that was the day that I promised
                  Gm6
I’d never sing of love
                Fmaj
If it does not exist.

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     C
     You are the only exception.
           Gm6         Fmaj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Gm6         Fmaj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: C | C

      C
Well, maybe I know somewhere
           Gm6
Deep in my soul
                Fmaj
That love never lasts.
    C
And we’ve got to find other ways
            Gm6
To make it alone,
                  Fmaj
Or keep a straight face.

    C
And I’ve always lived like this,
          Gm6
Keeping a comfortable
Fmaj
Distance.
    C
And up until now
                                  Gm6
I had sworn to myself that I’m content
           Fmaj
With loneliness,

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Gm6         Fmaj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Gm6         Fmaj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: Dm9 | Dm9 | C | G
              Dm9 | Dm9 | C | G

Bridge:
              Dm9
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       C                           G
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 Dm9
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            C
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              G       Fmaj9
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     C
     You are the only exception.
     Gm6         Fmaj
     You are the only exception.
     C
     You are the only exception.
           Gm6         Fmaj
     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.

    Bb        Fmaj         C
And I’m on my way to believing.
        Bb        Fmaj         C
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
