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 This is surely not D What you thought it would be Am C G I I lose myself in a daydream Where I stand and say Chorus: 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" Fond gestures are exchanged And the organ starts to play A song that sounds like a death march And I am hiding in the curtains It seems that I was uninvited By your lovely bride-to-be She floats down the aisle Like a pageant queen But I know you wish it was me You wish it was me (Don't you) Chorus: Don't say yes, run away now I'll meet you when you're out Of the church at the back door Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out And they said "speak now" Don't say yes, run away now I'll meet you when you're out Of the church at the back door Don't wait or say a single vow Your time is running out And they said "speak now" Em C I hear the preacher say speak now G D Or forever hold your peace Am There's a silence, there's my last chance C I stand up with shaky hands D All eyes on me Am C Horrified looks from everyone in the room D But I'm only lookin' at you I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely barging in On a white veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marrying the wrong girl (Hehe!) Chorus: So don't say yes, run away now I'll meet you when you're out Of the church at the back door Don't wait or say a single vow You need to hear me out And they said, "speak now" And you say "Let's run away now I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door" Baby, I didn't say my vows So glad you were around when they said "Speak now" | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA Am C D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
