Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: F# | F# | C#m | B  } 2 times

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

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

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     F#
     You are the only exception.
           C#m         B
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C#m         B
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: F# | F#

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

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

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           F#
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C#m         B
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#
     Well, you are the only exception.
           C#m         B
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: G#m7 | G#m7 | F# | C#
              G#m7 | G#m7 | F# | C#

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

Chorus:
     F#
     You are the only exception.
     C#m         B
     You are the only exception.
     F#
     You are the only exception.
           C#m         B
     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.

    E         B            F#
And I’m on my way to believing.
        E         B            F#
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
