Paramore - The Only Exception

Intro: H | H | F#m6 | Emaj | H | H | F#m6 | Emaj

H
When I was younger,
               F#m6
I saw my daddy cry
                 Emaj
and curse at the wind.
   H
he broke his own heart,
and I watched as he tried
   F#m6    Emaj
To reassemble it.

    H
and my mama swore that
                    F#m6
She would never let herself
   Emaj
forget.
    H
and that was the day that I promised
                  F#m6
I’d never sing of love
                Emaj
If it does not exist.

but darlin’,

chorus:
     H
     You are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           H
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: H | H

      H
Well, maybe I know somewhere
           F#m6
deep in my soul
                Emaj
That love never lasts.
    H
and we’ve got to find other ways
            F#m6
To make it alone,
                  Emaj
Or keep a straight face.

    H
and I’ve always lived like this,
          F#m6
Keeping a comfortable
Emaj
distance.
    H
and up until now
                                  F#m6
I had sworn to myself that I’m content
           Emaj
With loneliness,

because none of it was ever worth the risk.

chorus:
           H
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.
           H
     Well, you are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     Well, you are the only exception.

Instrumental: C#m9 | C#m9 | H | F#
              C#m9 | C#m9 | H | F#

bridge:
              C#m9
   I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
   but I can’t
       H                           F#
   Let go of what’s in front of me here.
                 C#m9
   I know you’re leaving
   In the morning when you wake up.
            H                                  F#      Emaj9
   Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream. Ohh.

chorus:
     H
     You are the only exception.
     F#m6        Emaj
     You are the only exception.
     H
     You are the only exception.
           F#m6        Emaj
     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.

    A         Emaj         H
and I’m on my way to believing.
        A         Emaj         H
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
