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 -stop
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
Thi--is i---is surely not
                          D
What you thought it would be
Am   C                  G
I---I  lose myself in a daydream
n.C.
Where I stand and say

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 -stop             
And they said "Speak Now"

G D Am C
     

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

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 -stop
You wish it was me- Don't you?

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               G
And they said "Speak Now"
                D                 
Don't say "Yes" run away now

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* -Once               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
    G       D -once
All eyes on me
Am                        C
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
    G                   D -once
But I'm only lookin' at you

G                    D
I am not the kind of girl
              Am
Who should be rudely barging in

On a white veil occasion
    G                       D
But you are not the kind of boy
              Am                     C
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
