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