Capo 1

 
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
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               A
And they said "Speak Now"
 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

Don't wait or say a single vow 
Bm
You need to hear me out
         D              A 
And they said "Speak Now"

  E    Bm    D    A
Ohooho laaaahhoh
E                    Bm       D 
Oooh(Say you see me now)ooohooh


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 
D               
I stand up with shaky hands 
    A       E -once
All eyes on me
Bm                        D
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
    A                   E -once
But I'm only lookin' at you



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                  
Oops! Don't say "Yes" run away now
Bm

Don't wait or say a single vow 
Bm
You need to hear me out
     D               A
They said "Speak Now"
                  E
And you say "Lets run away now"
     Bm                
I'll meet you when I'm out
      D                    A
Of my tux at the back door
       E
Baby I didn't say my vows
   Bm
So glad you were around
          D                  A -once
When they said "Speak no--ow"
