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 

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 

G               D 
Don't say "Yes" run away now 
Am 
I'll meet you when your 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 
And they said "Speak Now" 

( G  D  Am  C ) 

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 
    D 
You wish it was me 
    D 
You wish it was me- Don't you? 

G               D 
Don't say "Yes" run away now 
Am 
I'll meet you when your 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 your 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 

Am                      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 
All eyes on me 
Am                        C 
Horrified looks from everyone in the room 
    G                   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 

      G               D 
Oops! Don't say "Yes" run away now 
Am 
I'll meet you when your 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 
When they said "Speak no--ow"
