Guitar chords for beginners: "The Only Exception" by Paramore - chord illustrations

G                                                       Dm

When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
                           C

And curse at the wind.
       G

He broke his own heart and I watched
                    Dm             C

As he tried to reassemble it.
         G
And my momma swore
                                      Dm          C

That she would never let herself forget.
        G

And that was the day that I promised
                         Dm                        C

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
G

You are the only exception.
Dm               C

You are the only exception.
G

You are the only exception.
Dm               C                       G

You are the only exception.
G  Dm  C...
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
G  Dm  C...
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I have sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
G  Dm  C...
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
G  D  Am  G  D
D            Am

I've got a tight grip on reality,
                     G                                       D

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
                       Am

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.
                  G                                                D                        C

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream. Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
G  Dm  C...
You are the only exception. (4x)
G  Dm  C...
You are the only exception. (4x)
        F                C                        G
And I'm on my way to believing.
              F                C                         G

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

Em                             D                                             Em

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top.
Em                                  C                                               Em

She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock.
Em                   D                                     Em

It's a matter of time before we all run out,
Em                                C                                                 Em

When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.
Em                                     D
I waited eight long months,
D                                  Em

She finally set him free.
Em                             C                                            Em

I told him I couldn't lie   he was the only one for me.
Em                     D

Two weeks we caught on fire,
                  Em                                    C

She's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile.
C        G                            D
Whoa, I never meant to brag.
          Em                       D                    C

But I got him where I want him now.
C                     G                                  D

Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
      Em               D                             C

To steal it all away from you now.

'Cause God it just feels so...
D                    Em

It just feels so good.
Em  D  Em  C...
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like, it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!
C  G  D  Em...
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
'Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good.
C                   G                                     D
I watched his wildest dreams come true
D                Em      D                C

Not one of them involving you
C                     G                              D

Just watch my wildest dreams come true
                   C

Not one of them involving...
C  G  D  Em...
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
'Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
'Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good.
