Intro: A A
A E
I am not the kind of girl
Bm
Who should be rudely barging in
D
On a white veil occasion
A E
But you are not the kind of boy
Bm D -stop
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
A E
I sneak in and see your friends
Bm
And her snotty little family
D
All dressed in pastel
A E
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Bm
Somewhere back inside a room
D
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
Bm D A
Thi–is i—is surely not
E
What you thought it would be
Bm D A
I—I lose myself in a daydream
n.E.
Where I stand and say
A E
Don’t say “Yes” run away now
Bm
I’ll meet you when your out
D A
Of the church at the back door
E
Don’t wait or say a single vow
Bm
You need to hear me out
D -stop
And they said “Speak Now”
A E Bm D
A E
Fond gestures are exchanged
Bm
And the organ starts to play a song
D
That sounds like a death march
A E
And I am hiding in the curtains
Bm
It seems that I was uninvited
D
By your lovely bride-to-be
Bm D
She—e floats down the aisle
A E
Like a pageant queen
Bm D
But I–I kno–ow
A
You wish it was me
E -stop
You wish it was me- Don’t you?
A E
Don’t say “Yes” run away now

I’ll meet you when your out

Of the church at the back door

Don’t wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

Ohooho laaaahhoh

Bm -Once D
I hear the preacher say speak now
A E E
Or forever hold your pe—ace
Bm
There’s a silence, there’s my last chance

I stand up with shaky hands
A E -once
All eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room
A E -once
But I’m only lookin’ at you

When they said “Speak no–ow”
