C baritone chordC Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm x2

C baritone chordC Gm baritone chordGm
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
Am baritone chordAm
and curse at the wind.
C baritone chordC
He broke his own heart and I watched
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
as he tried to reassemble it.

C baritone chordC
And my momma swore
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
that she would never let herself forget.
C baritone chordC
And that was the day that I promised
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.


But darling,
C baritone chordC
You are the only exception.
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
You are the only exception.
C baritone chordC
You are the only exception.
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm C baritone chordC
You are the only exception.

C baritone chordC
Maybe I know somewhere
Gm baritone chordGm
deep in my soul
Am baritone chordAm
that love never lasts.
C baritone chordC
And we've got to find other ways
Gm baritone chordGm
to make it alone.
Am baritone chordAm
Or keep a straight face.
C baritone chordC
And I've always lived like this
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
keeping a comfortable distance.
C baritone chordC
And up until now I've sworn to myself
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
that I'm content with loneliness.

Am baritone chordAm
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.

C baritone chordC
Well you are the only exception.
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
You are the only exception.
C baritone chordC
You are the only exception.
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm Dm baritone chordDm
You are the only exception.

C baritone chordC G baritone chordG Dm baritone chordDm C baritone chordC G baritone chordG

Dm baritone chordDm
I've got a tight grip on reality,
C baritone chordC G baritone chordG
but I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
Dm baritone chordDm
I know you're leaving in the morning

when you wake up.
C baritone chordC G baritone chordG
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
F baritone chordF
Woah

C baritone chordC
You are the only exception.
Gm baritone chordGm Am baritone chordAm
You are the only exception. [x4]

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

About this song: The Only Exception

The third single from Paramore's third album, Brand New Eyes.
This soulful acoustic number is a heartfelt song about love. (Source The Only Exception Songfacts) Frontwoman and lyricist Hayley Williams told Kerrang! May 9, 2009, that it's &quot;the first time I've been able to write a song about that.&quot; She added: &quot;Josh (Farro - guitar) brought me the music and I thought it was so beautiful. I don't know where my head was at when I heard it, but it really hit me.
