Intro: G x2

G                   D
I am not the kinda girl
                            Am
who should be rudely barging in
         Cadd9
on a white vail ocassion
       G                                     D
But you are not the kinda boy 
                            Am                                     Cadd9
who should be marrying the wrong girl
G                                       D              
I sneak in and see your friends
               Am                                 Cadd9
and her snotty little family all dressed in pastels
         G                             D
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid 
                     Am                                                    Cadd9 
somewhere back inside her room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry


Am   C G                                                                D
This is surely not what you thought it would be
Am C                     G
I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say...


G                       D
Don't say yes, run away now
Am                                                           Cadd9 
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
G                       D
Don't wait, or say a single vow
Am                                                        Cadd9
You need to hear me out and they said speak now

G D Am Cadd9

G                                 D
Fun gestures are exchanged 
               Am                                                   Cadd9
and the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
        G                               D 
And I am hiding in the curtains
                        Am                                     Cadd9
it seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be


Am  C                                             G                         D
She looks down the aisle like a pageant queen
   Am C               G                                 D
But I know you wish it was me, you wish it was me…

Don't you?



G                       D
Don't say yes, run away now
Am                                                           Cadd9 
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
G                       D
Don't wait, or say a single vow
Am                                                        Cadd9
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
G                       D
Don't say yes, run away now
Am                                                          Cadd9
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
G                       D
Don't wait, or say a single vow
Am                                                       Cadd9
Your time is running out and they said speak now

G D Am Cadd9 x2

Em                                     C                                    G               D
I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace
Am
There's the silence
                     Cadd9 
There's my last chance
                                                            D
I stand up with shaking hands all eyes on me


Am                                Cadd9
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
       G                              D
But I'm only lookin' at you



G                                D
I am not the kinda girl
                            Am
who should be rudely barging in
         Cadd9
on a white vail ocassion
       G                                     D
But you are not the kinda boy 
                            Am                                     Cadd9
who should be marrying the wrong girl



G                       D
Don't say yes, run away now
Am                                                           Cadd9 
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
G                       D
Don't wait, or say a single vow
Am                                                        Cadd9
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
G                                D
And you'll say let's run away now
Am                                                    Cadd9
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door
G           D  
Baby, I didn't say my vows
Am                                                           Cadd9
So glad you were around when they said speak now
