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