The Only Exception [B] - Paramore
[Intro]
B B F#m E B B F#m E
[Verse 1]
B F#m E
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind.
B
He broke his own heart and I watched
F#m E
As he tried to reassemble it.
B
And my momma swore
F#m E
That she would never let herself forget.
B
And that was the day that I promised
F#m E
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
|[Chorus]
|B
|You are the only exception.
|F#m E
|You are the only exception.
|B
|You are the only exception.
|F#m E B
|You are the only exception.
[Verse 2]
B F#m
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
E
That love never lasts.
B F#m
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.
E
Or keep a straight face.
B
And I've always lived like this
F#m E
Keeping a comfortable distance.
B
And up until now I have sworn to myself
F#m E
That I'm content with loneliness.
E
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
[Chorus]
[Break]
C#m B F# C#m B
F# C#m B F#
I've got a tight grip on reality, But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
C#m
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.
B F# E
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. Oh
[Chorus]
[Outro]
B
You are the only exception.
F#m E
You are the only exception.
B
You are the only exception.
F#m E
You are the only exception.
A E B
And I'm on my way to believing.
A E B
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
