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 laaaahhh
D Am C
Oooh(Say "Speak 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
Haha! 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'll 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"
