Tom: E

Intro 2x: E  B  C#m  A

                  E                      F#m
Now I don't know much, but the one thing I do,
        A                       E
is that love, love hurt that touch,
      F#m                          A                              E
Her jealous roots. And you're the flower in a bed, we're born to lose.

B                    C#m     A
Oooh I, Ooooh I, Oooh I, I--
         E                          B
I need exception, from the rules of attraction,
      C#m                            A
'cause I really really really can't accept them
         E                        B
Your so above me, in the measure of beauty,
       C#m                                  A
and I don't think it's fair that that should stop me.
B                         A           B           F#m
Oh I know, you'll never see, the heart that beats underneath.
                      F#m                      A
That's why I need exception from the rules of attraction when it comes to you.

( E  B  C#m  A ) (2x)

                    E                        F#m
Lies feed from the lust, and it's poisonous fruit.
   A                          E                 F#m
And baby you, you can't help but love, its shallow juice.
 A                            A                          E
There's so much you'll never see, 'cause you can't see through.

B                    A     F#m
Oooh I, Oooh I, Oooh I, I---
         E                          B
I need exception, from the rules of attraction,
      C#m                            A
'cause I really really really can't accept them
         E                        B
Your so above me, in the measure of beauty,
       C#m                                  A
and I don't think it's fair that that should stop me.
B                         A           B           F#m
Oh I know, you'll never see, the heart that beats underneath.
                      F#m                      A
That's why I need exception from the rules of attraction when it comes to you.

 E  B  C#m               A
      Oh when it comes to you
Ab
   Don't you know the path you're on is paved
              A
With all the hearts you left broken and bleeding.
Ab
And can't you see the you're living only ends
       A
With lying and cheating, hurt and deceiving.
B     B7
Haaaa
