[Intro]
G   G

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-chorus 1]
Am      C      G
Thi--is i---is surely not
                          D
What you thought it would be
Am   C                  D
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 you're out
       C
Of the church at the back door
G               D
  Don't wait or say a single vow
    Am
You need to hear me out
         C     N.C.
And they said "Speak Now"

[Instrumental]
G   D   Am   C

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-chorus 2]
Am      C
She---e floats down the aisle
       G            D
Like a pageant queen
    Am   C
But I--I kno--ow 
    G
You wish it was me
    D           N.C.
You wish it was me - Don't you?

[Chorus]
G                  D
  Don't say "Yes", run away now
     Am
I'll meet you when you're out
       C
Of the church at the back door
G               D
  Don't wait or say a single vow
    Am
You need to hear me out
         C
And they said "Speak Now"

G                  D
  Don't say "Yes", run away now
     Am
I'll meet you when you're out
       C
Of the church at the back door
G               D
  Don't wait or say a single vow
     Am
Your time is running out
         C
And they said "Speak Now"

G   D      Am    C
    Ohooho laaaahhoh
G   D                  Am          C
    Oooh (Say a single vow) ooohooh

[Bridge]
Em*                     C*
I hear the preacher say speak now
           G*        D*   D
Or forever hold your pe---ace
Am
There's a silence, there's my last chance
C
I stand up with shaky hands
    D       D*
All eyes on me
Am                   C
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
    D                   D*
But I'm only lookin' at you

[Verse 4]
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 don't say "Yes", run away now
     Am
I'll meet you when you're out
       C
Of the church at the back door
G               D
  Don't wait or say a single vow
    Am
You need to hear me out
     C
They said "Speak Now"

G                    D
  And you say "Let's run away now"
     Am
I'll meet you when I'm out
      C
Of my tux at the back door
G         D
  Baby, I didn't say my vows
   Am
So glad you were around
          C                G*
When they said "Speak no--ow"
