Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: C | C | Gm | F  } 2 times

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

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

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     C
     You are the only exception.
           Gm          F
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Gm          F
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: C | C

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

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

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Gm          F
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Gm          F
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: Dm7 | Dm7 | C | G
              Dm7 | Dm7 | C | G

Bridge:
              Dm7
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       C                           G
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 Dm7
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            C
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              G       F
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     C
     You are the only exception.
     Gm          F
     You are the only exception.
     C
     You are the only exception.
           Gm          F
     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        F            C
And I’m on my way to believing.
        Bb        F            C
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
