Intro:
D A Em G

Couplet 1:
D A
I am not the kind of girl
Em G
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
D A
But you are not the kind of boy
Em G
Who should be marrying the wrong girl

D A
I sneak in and see your friends,
Em G
and her snotty little family all dressed in pastel
D A
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid,
Em G
somewhere back inside a room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

Pre-Chorus:
Em G D A
This is surely not what you thought it would be
Em G D A
I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say

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

Couplet 2:
D A
Fun gestures are exchanged
Em G
And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
D A
And I am hiding in the curtains
Em G
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be

Pre-Chorus:
Em G D A
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
Em G D A
But I know you wish it was me, you wish it was me
(STOP)
Don't you?

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

D A
Don't say yes, run away now
Em G
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
D A
Don't wait or say a single vow
Em G
You’re time is running out and they said speak now

Bridge:
Em G D A
I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace
Em G
There's the silence, there's my last chance
D A D A
I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me
Em G
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
D A
But I'm only looking at you

Couplet 1:
D A
I am not the kind of girl
Em G
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
D A
But you are not the kind of boy
Em G
Who should be marrying the wrong girl

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

D A
And you say, lets run away now
Em G
I'll meet you when I’m out of my tux at the backdoor
D A
Baby, I didn’t say my vows
Em G
So glad you were around when they said speak now
