Intro: / G - - - / x2
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 (hold first time)
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
D (hold)
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
Of the church at the back door
G D
Don't wait or say a single vow
Am
You need to hear me out
C (hold first time)
And they said "Speak Now"
Instrumental: / 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 (hold)
You wish it was me- Don't you?
Chorus
Chorus II:
G D
Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am
I'll meet you when your out
C
Of the church at the back door
G D
Don't wait or say a single vow
Am
Your time is running out
C
And they said "Speak Now"
Instrumental: / G - - - / D - - - / Am - - - / C - - - / x2
Bridge:
Em (hold) C (hold)
I hear the preacher say speak now
G (hold) D (hold)
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 (hold)
All eyes on me
Am C
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
D D (hold)
But I'm only lookin' at you
Repeat Verse 1
Chorus
G D
And you say "Let’s run away now
Am
I'll meet you when I'm out
C
Of my tux at the back door
G D
Baby, I didn't say my vows
Am
So glad you were around
C G (hold)
When they said ‘Speak no--ow’"
