Intro
Verse 1
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in
On a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Am C*
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
Verse 2
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty little family
All dressed in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
Pre-chorus 1
Thi--is i---is surely not
What you thought it would be
I---I lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say
Chorus
Don't say "Yes", run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
C N.C.
And they said "Speak Now"
Instrumental
Verse 3
Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song
That sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited
By your lovely bride-to-be
Pre-chorus 2
She---e floats down the aisle
Like a pageant queen
But I--I kno--ow
You wish it was me
D N.C.
You wish it was me - Don't you?
Chorus
Don't say "Yes", run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said "Speak Now"
Don't say "Yes", run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out
And they said "Speak Now"
Ohooho laaaahhoh
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
There's a silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shaky hands
D D*
All eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
D D*
But I'm only lookin' at you
Verse 4
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in
On a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
Chorus
So don't say "Yes", run away now
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
They said "Speak Now"
And you say "Let's run away now"
I'll meet you when I'm out
Of my tux at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around
C G*
When they said "Speak no--ow"
