Intro: G G 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 Thiis iis surely not D What you thought it would be Am C D I lose myself in a daydream N.C. Where I stand and say Chorus: G D Donʼt say «Yes», run away now Am Iʼll meet you when youʼre out C Of the church at the back door G D Donʼt wait or say a single vow Am You need to hear me out N.C. 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 Shee floats down the aisle G D Like a pageant queen Am C But I knoow G You wish it was me N.C. You wish it was me. Donʼt you? Chorus: G D Donʼt say «Yes», run away now Am Iʼll meet you when youʼre out C Of the church at the back door G D Donʼt wait or say a single vow Am You need to hear me out C And they said «Speak Now» G D Donʼt say «Yes», run away now Am Iʼll meet you when youʼre out C Of the church at the back door G D Donʼt wait or say a single vow Am Your time is running out C And they said «Speak Now» Instrumental: G D Am C x2 Em C I hear the preacher say speak now G D Or forever hold your peace Am Thereʼs a silence, thereʼs 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 D But Iʼm only lookinʼ 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 Chorus: G D So donʼt say «Yes», run away now Am Iʼll meet you when youʼre out C Of the church at the back door G D Donʼt wait or say a single vow Am You need to hear me out C They said «Speak Now» G D And you say «Letʼs run away now» Am Iʼll meet you when Iʼm out C Of my tux at the back door G D Baby, I didnʼt say my vows Am So glad you were around C G When they said «Speak now»
