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
