Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: D | D | Am | G  } 2 times

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

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

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     D
     You are the only exception.
           Am          G
     Well, you are the only exception.
           D
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Am          G
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: D | D

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

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

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           D
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Am          G
     Well, you are the only exception.
           D
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Am          G
     Well, you are the only exception.

Bridge:
              Em7
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       D                           A
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 Em7
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            D
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              A       G
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     D
     You are the only exception.
     Am          G
     You are the only exception.
     D
     You are the only exception.
           Am          G
     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.

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