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