Lyrics and Music by Josh Farro and Hayley Williams

Intro: G | G | Dm | C  } 2 times

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

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

But darlin’,

Chorus:
     G
     You are the only exception.
           Dm          C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           G
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Dm          C
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: G | G

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

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

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

Chorus:
           G
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Dm          C
     Well, you are the only exception.
           G
     Well, you are the only exception.
           Dm          C
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: Am7 | Am7 | G | D
              Am7 | Am7 | G | D

Bridge:
              Am7
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   But I can’t
       G                           D
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 Am7
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            G
   Leave me with some kind of proof
              D       C
   It’s not a dream. Ohh.

Chorus:
     G
     You are the only exception.
     Dm          C
     You are the only exception.
     G
     You are the only exception.
           Dm          C
     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.

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