[Estrofa]
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
[Estrofa]
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-Estribillo]
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
[Estribillo]
G                D 
Don't say "Yes", run away now 
Am 
I'll meet you when you're 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"
[Instrumental]
G D Am C
[Estrofa]
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-Estribillo]
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?
[Estribillo]
G                D 
Don't say "Yes", run away now 
Am 
I'll meet you when you're 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 
Am 
I'll meet you when you're out  
       C                      G 
Of the church at the back door 
              D 
Don't wait or say a single vow  
Am 
Your time is running out 
         C               G 
And they said "Speak Now"  
  D    Am    C    G 
Ohooho laaaahhoh 
D                  Am          C 
Oooh (Say a single vow) ooohooh
[Estrofa]
Em* -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 
    D                   D - once 
But I'm only lookin' at you
[Estrofa]
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
[Estribillo]
G                    D 
 So don't say "Yes", run away now 
Am 
I'll meet you when you're 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 
They said "Speak Now" 
                   D 
And you say "Let's run away now" 
     Am 
I'll meet you when I'm out 
      C                    G 
Of my tux at the back door 
        D 
Baby, I didn't say my vows 
   Am 
So glad you were around 
          C                  G - once 
When they said "Speak no--ow"
