[Intro]
[G] [G]
[Verse]
[G]I am not the kind of [D]girl
Who should be [Am]rudely barging in
On a [C]white veil occasion
But [G]you are not the kind of [D]boy
Who should be [Am]marrying the wrong gir[C]girl [-stop]
[G]I sneak in and see your [D]friends
And her [Am]snotty little family
All [C]dressed in pastel
And [G]she is yelling at a [D]bridesmaid
Somewhere [Am]back inside a room
Wearing a [C]gown shaped like a pastry
[Am]Thi--is [C]i---is [G]surely not
What you thought it would [D]be
[Am]I---I[C]I---I lose myself in a [D]daydream
Where I stand and say
[Chorus]
[G]Don't say "Yes" [D]run away now
[Am]I'll meet you when you're out
Of the [C]church at the back door[G]door
Don't wait or [D]say a single vow
[Am]You need to hear me out
And they [C]sa[-stop]said "Speak Now"
[Instrumental]
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
[Verse]
[G]Fond gestures are ex[D]exchanged
And the [Am]organ starts to play a song
That [C]sounds like a death march
And [G]I am hiding in the cur[D]curtains
It seems that [Am]I was uninvited
By your [C]lovely bride-to-be
[Am]She---e [C]floats down the aisle
Like a [G]pageant queen[D]queen
But [Am]I--I [C]kno--ow
You [G]wish it was me
D - stop
You wish it was me- Don't you?
[Chorus]
[G]Don't say "Yes" [D]run away now
[Am]I'll meet you when you're out
Of the [C]church at the back door[G]door
Don't wait or [D]say a single vow
[Am]You need to hear me out
And they [C]said "Speak Now"[G]Now"
Don't say "Yes" [D]run away now
[Am]I'll meet you when you're out
Of the [C]church at the back door[G]door
Don't wait or [D]say a single vow
[Am]Your time is running out
And they [C]said "Speak Now"[G]Now"
Oh[D]Ohooho [Am]laaaah[C]laaaahhoh [G]
[D]Oooh(Say you see me n[Am]now)ooohoo[C]ow)ooohooh
[Verse]
Em* -Once C*
I hear the preacher say speak now
G* D* D
Or forever hold your pe---ace
[Am]There's a silence, there's my last chance
[C]I stand up with shaky hands
All [G]eyes on [D]me[-]me [once]
[Am]Horrified looks from every[C]everyone in the room
But [D]I'm only lookin' at [D]yo[-]you [once]
[G]I am not the kind of [D]girl
Who should be [Am]rudely barging in
On a [C]white veil occasion
But [G]you are not the kind of [D]boy
Who should be [Am]marrying the wrong girl[C]girl
[Chorus]
Oops! [G]Don't say "Yes" [D]run away now
[Am]I'll meet you when you're out
Of the [C]church at the back door[G]door
Don't wait or [D]say a single vow
[Am]You need to hear me out
They [C]said "Speak Now"[G]Now"
And you say "Lets [D]run away now"
I'll [Am]meet you when I'm out
Of my [C]tux at the back door [G]
Baby I [D]didn't say my vows
So [Am]glad you were around
When they [C]said "Speak no--ow"[G]no--ow" [-] [once]
