Speak Now

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   

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                  D   
I---I  lose myself in a daydream   

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   
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   
       D   
You wish it was me   
       D   
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   
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   
Your time is running out   
         C               G   
And they said "Speak Now"   

  D    Am    C    G   
Ohooho laaaahhh   
D                    Am      C   
Oooh(Say "Speak Now") ooohooh   

Am                      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   
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   
     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   

      G               D   
Haha! 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   
They said "Speak Now"   
                  D   
And you'll say "Lets 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   
When they said "Speak no--ow"
