GGDD I am not the kind of girl
AmAmCC Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
GGDD But you are not the kind of boy
AmAmC Who should be marrying the wrong girl
 
GDAm I sneak in and see your friends, and her snotty little family
C All dressed in pastel
GDAm And she is yelling at a bridesmaid, somewhere back inside a room
C Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
 
AmCGD This is surely not what you thought it would be
AmCD I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say
 
GD Don't say yes, run away now
AmCG I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
D Don't wait or say a single vow
AmC You need to hear me out and they said speak now
 
G D Am C
GD Fun gestures are exchanged
AmC And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
GD And I am hiding in the curtains
AmC It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
 
AmCGD She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
AmCDD But I know you wish it was me, you wish it was me
Don't you? 
GD Don't say yes, run away now
AmCG I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
D Don't wait or say a single vow
AmC You need to hear me out and they said speak now
 
GD Don't say yes, run away now
AmCG I'll meet you when you’re out of the church at the backdoor
D Don't wait or say a single vow
AmC Your time is running out and they said speak now
 
(G D Am C)x2
AmCGD I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace
Am There's the silence, there's my last chance
CD I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me
AmAmCC Horrified looks from everyone in the room
DDD But I'm only looking at you
GGDD I am not the kind of girl
AmAmCC Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
GGDD But you are not the kind of boy
AmAmC Who should be marrying the wrong girl
GD Don't say yes, run away now
AmCG I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
D Don't wait or say a single vow
AmC You need to hear me out and they said speak now
 
GD And you say lets run away now
AmCG I'll meet when I'm out of my tux at the backdoor
DAm Baby I didn't say my vows, so glad you were around
