The Only Exception Chords & Lyrics - Paramore

Whe[G]n I was younger I saw my daddy cry[Dm] and curse at the wind[Cmaj7]
He [G]broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to [Dm]re-assemble [Cmaj7]it
And [G]my mama swore that she would never let [Dm]herself for[Cmaj7]get
And [G]that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of [Dm]love
if it does not e[Cmaj7]xist, but darling

®:[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7] , [G...]only exception

Maybe I know somewhere deep in [...Dmi]my soul that love never [Cmaj7]lasts
And [G]we've got to find other ways to make it al[Dm]one or keep a straight [Cmaj7]face
And [G]I've always lived like this, keeping a co[Dm]mfortable [Cmaj7]distance
And [G]up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm con[Dm]tent with loneli[Cmaj7]ness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

®:[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7]only exceptio[Am...]n

[...G] , [D] , [Ami] Am [G] , [D]
I've got a [Am]tight grip on reality, but I can't
Let [G]go of what's in front of me [D]here
I know you're [Am]leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me [G]with some kind of proof it's not a [D]dream, whoa[C]

®:[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7]only exception

®:[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7]only exception
[G]You are the only exception
[Dm]You are the [Cmaj7]only exception

And [F]I'm on my w[C]ay to believing[G]
Oh, and [F]I'm on my w[C]ay to believing.[G]
