Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: E | E | Bm | A  } 2 times

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

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

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     E
     You are the only exception.
           Bm          A
     Well, you are the only exception.
           E
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Bm          A
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: E | E

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

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

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           E
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Bm          A
     Well, you are the only exception.
           E
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Bm          A
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: F#m7 | F#m7 | E | B
              F#m7 | F#m7 | E | B

Bridge:
              F#m7
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       E                           B
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 F#m7
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            E
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              B       A
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     E
     You are the only exception.
     Bm          A
     You are the only exception.
     E
     You are the only exception.
           Bm          A
     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.

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