Intro: C Em Am G/B x2

C                       Em                      Am G/B
Think of me when you're out, when you're out there 
C                           Em  Am G/B G
I'll beg you nice from my knees 
C                            Em         Am G/B
And when the world treats you way too fairly 
C                         Em  Am G/B
Well it's a shame I'm a dream 
C       Em        Am G/B
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am
All I wanted was you 

C Em Am G/B x2

C                       Em                 Am G/B
I think I'll pace my apartment a few times 
C                        Em  Am G/B
And fall asleep on the couch 
C                      Em                 Am G/B
And wake up early to black and white re-runs 
C                     Em  Am G/B
That escape from my mouth 

C       Em        Am G/B
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am G
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am G/B
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am G/B
All I wanted was you 

C Em Am G/B x2

C                    Em             Am G/B
I could follow you to the beginning 
C                     Em Am G/B
Just to relive the start 
C                      Em            Am  G/B
And maybe then we'd remember to slow down 
C                        Em  Am G/B
At all of our favourite parts 

C       Em        Am G/B
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am G
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am G/B
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am G/B
All I wanted was you 
C       Em        Am G/B C
All I wanted was you

F--G-Em- x2

(1,2,3,4)


Verse 1:
F
I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back don't 
               G
try and follow me
             Em
Cause I'll return as 
soon as possible
    F
You see I'm trying 
to find my place
But it might not be here 
             G
where I feel safe
   Em
We all learn to make mistakes


Refrain 1:
    Am
And run
     Em        F
From them from them
          G
With no direction
Am       Em        F
Run from them from them
           G
With no conviction


Chorus 1:
               Am
Cause I'm just one 
G  G/B   C
of those ghosts
Am G      Em     F
Traveling endlessly
Am    G    G/B C
Don't need no  road
   Am   G    Em F
In fact they follow me


Verse 2:
F     G             Em
  And we just go in circles
    F
But now I'm told that this life
                                G
And pain is just a simple compromise
      Em
So we can get what we want out of it
     F
Will someone care to classify
A broken heart and twisted minds?
   G              Em
So I can find someone to rely on


Refrain 2:
    Am
And run To 
C       F
them to them
      G
Full speed ahead
   Am
Oh you are 
Em     F
not Useless
       G
We are just


Chorus 2:
Am G  G/B C
Misguided ghosts
Am    G    Em F
Travelling endlessly
            Am  G   G/B
The ones we trusted the 
C    Am     G  Em  F
most Pushed us far away
    Am      G  G/B C
And there's no one road
       Am     G
And we should not 
Em F
be the same
    Am  G    G/B C
But I'm just a   ghost
     Am   G    Em C  Dm F G
And still they e--cho   me
     Em         F      G Em F(hold)
They echo me in circles

Intro:
G  Dm  Cmaj7  x2

Verse 1
G                                 Dm                    Cmaj7
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind
   G                                                Dm          Cmaj7
He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to re-assemble it
    G                                      Dm         Cmaj7
And my mama swore that she would never let herself forget
    G                                                  Dm
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love 
                Cmaj7
if it does not exist, but darling

Chorus:
G
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7           G...
You are the only exception

Verse 2
                               ...Dm                   Cmaj7
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul that love never lasts
    G                                         Dm                     Cmaj7
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
    G                                        Dm        Cmaj7
And I've always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance
    G                                              Dm              Cmaj7
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Chorus:
G
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7        Am...
You are the only exception

Bridge:
...G  D  Am  G  D
           Am
I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't 
    G                           D
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, whoa

Chorus:
G
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7
You are the only exception
G
You are the only exception
Dm          Cmaj7
You are the only exception

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:
    F          C               G
And I'm on my way to believing
        F          C               G
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.

To find perfection in my pride 
   Am    
To see nothing in the light? 
      C      Dm
But turn it off In all my spite 
            G
In all my spite I'll turn it off 

Chorus

C        G
And the worst part is 
  Am
Before it gets any better 
     F
We're heading for a cliff 
C                    G
And in the free fall I will realize 
Am                     F
I'm better off when I hit the bottom 

Am, G, C, G, Am, G, C

Verse 2

Am   C
The tragedy it seems unending 
Dm   G
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending 
Am   C
We're taking short cuts and false solutions 
Dm   G
Just to come out the hero 
Am      C
Well I can see behind the curtain 
Dm             G
The world's cranking, turning, so wrong the way we're working 
Am   C
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent 
Dm             G
It's nonexistent, but we just keep believing 

Chorus

C        G
And the worst part is 
  Am
Before it gets any better 
     F
We're heading for a cliff 
C                G
And in the free fall I will realize 
Am                     F
I'm better off when I hit the bottom 

Am, G, C, G, Am, G, C

Bridge: Am, G, C, G, Am, G, C

Am        C
I wanna know what it'd be like 
Dm      G
To find perfection in my pride 
   Am    
To see nothing in the light? 
      C      Dm
But turn it off In all my spite 
            G
In all my spite I'll turn it off Just turn it off 

Am, G, C, G, Am, G, C x2
