Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: F | F | Cm | Bb  } 2 times

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

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

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     F
     You are the only exception.
           Cm          Bb
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Cm          Bb
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: F | F

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

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

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           F
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Cm          Bb
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Cm          Bb
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: Gm7 | Gm7 | F | C
              Gm7 | Gm7 | F | C

Bridge:
              Gm7
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       F                           C
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 Gm7
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            F
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              C       Bb
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     F
     You are the only exception.
     Cm          Bb
     You are the only exception.
     F
     You are the only exception.
           Cm          Bb
     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.

    Eb        Bb           F
And I’m on my way to believing.
        Eb        Bb           F
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
