[Intro]
  A(B ) - Em(F#m ) - D(E )  x 2
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/paramore/the_only_exception_crd_ver_14.html ]
[Verse 1]
  A(B)                              Em(F#m)              D(E)
  When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
     A(B)                                             Em(F#m)     D(E)
  He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
      A(B )                          Em(F#m )       D(E )
  And my mama swore that she would never let her            self forget
      A(B )                                      Em(F#m )
  And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love 
                  D(E )
  if it does not exist, but darling

[Chorus]
- A(B )
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m ) D(E )
  You are the      only exception
- A(B )
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m ) D(E )
  You are the      only exception

[Fill in]
  A(B)

[Verse 2]
- A(B)                              Em(F#m)              D(E)
  Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
- A(B)                                        Em(F#m)                  D(E)
  And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
-     A(B)                                   Em(F#m)     D(E)
  And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
-      A(B)                                         Em(F#m)           D(E)
  And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
-         D(E)
  Because none of it was ever worth the risk

[Chorus]
- A(B )
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m ) D(E )
  You are the      only exception
- A(B )
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m ) D(E )
  You are the      only exception

[Fill 2]
      A(B)    E(F)              Bm(C#m)  A(B)    E(F)

[Bridge]
-            Bm(C#m)
  I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't 
-     A(B)                         E(F)
  Let go of what's in front of me here
-               Bm(C#m)
  I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
-          A(B)                               E(F)      D(E)
  Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, whoa

[Chorus]
- A(B)
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m)     D(E)
  You are the only exception
- A(B )
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m ) D(E )
  You are the      only exception

[Chorus]
- A(B )
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m ) D(E )
  You are the      only exception
- A(B )
  You are the only exception
- Em(F#m ) D(E )
  You are the      only exception

[Outro]
-     G(A)       D(E)             A(B)
  And I'm on my way to believing
-         G(A)       D(E)             A(B)
  Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
