VERSE

(G baritone chordG)When I was younger I saw my daddy (Dm baritone chordDm)cry and curse at the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)wind
He (G baritone chordG)broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to (Dm baritone chordDm)re-assemble it(Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)
And (G baritone chordG)my mama swore that she would never let (Dm baritone chordDm)herself forget(Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)
And (G baritone chordG)that was the day that I promised I?d never sing of (Dm baritone chordDm)love
if it does not (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)exist, but darling

CHORUS
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception (G baritone chordG)

VERSE
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my (Dm baritone chordDm)soul that love never (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)lasts
And (G baritone chordG)we?ve got to find other ways to make it a-(Dm baritone chordDm)lone or keep a straight (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)face
And (G baritone chordG)I?ve always lived like this, keeping a (Dm baritone chordDm)comfortable (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)distance
And (G baritone chordG)up until now I had sworn to myself that I?m con-(Dm baritone chordDm)tent with loneli-(Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)ness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

CHORUS
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception(Am baritone chordAm)?

BRIDGE
?G baritone chordG D baritone chordD Am baritone chordAm G baritone chordG D baritone chordD

I?ve got a (Am baritone chordAm)tight grip on reality, but I can?t
Let (G baritone chordG)go of what?s in front of me (D baritone chordD)here
I know you?re (Am baritone chordAm)leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me (G baritone chordG)with some kind of proof it?s not a (D baritone chordD)dream, whoa(C baritone chordC)

CHORUS
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception

CHORUS
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception
(G baritone chordG)You are the only exception
(Dm baritone chordDm)You are the (Cmaj7 baritone chordCmaj7)only exception

OUTRO
And (F baritone chordF)I?m on my (C baritone chordC)way to believ-(G baritone chordG)ing
Oh, and (F baritone chordF)I?m on my (C baritone chordC)way to believ-(G baritone chordG)ing.

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 "the first time I've been able to write a song about that." She added: "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.
