|G |G | |G |D/F# |Am |C | I am not the kind of girl, who should be rudely barging in on a white-veil occasion |G |D/F# |Am |C | But you are not the kind of boy, who should be marrying the wrong girl |G |D/F# |Am |C | I sneak in and see your friends, and her snotty little family all dressed in pastel |G |D/F# | And she is yelling at a bridesmaid |Am |C | Somewhere back inside a room, wearing a gown shaped like a pastry |Am |C |G |D/F# | This is surely not what you thought it would be |Am |C |D |D | I lose myself in a daydream, where I stand and |G |D/F# |Am |C | say, don’t say yes, run away now, I’ll meet you when you're out of the church at the back |G |D/F# |Am |C | door, don’t wait or say a single vow, you need to hear me out, and they said, "Speak now" |G |D/F# |Am |C | |G |D/F# | Fond gestures are exchanged |Am |C | And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march |G |D/F# |Am |C | And I am hiding in the curtains, it seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be |Am |C |G |D/F# | She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen |Am |C |D |D | But I know you wish it was me, you wish it was me, don't you? |G |D/F# |Am |C | Don't say yes, run away now, I’ll meet you when you're out of the church at the back |G |D/F# |Am |C | door, don’t wait or say a single vow, you need to hear me out, and they said, "Speak now" |G |D/F# | Don't say yes, run away now (run away now) |Am |C | I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back |G |D/F# | door, don’t wait, or say a single vow (say a single vow) |Am |C | Your time is running out, and they said, "Speak now" |G |D/F# |Am |C | Ooh (run away) now |G |D/F# |Am |C | Ooh (say a single vow), ooh |Em |C |G |D | I hear the preacher say, "Speak now or forever hold your peace" |Am |C |D |D | There's the silence, there's my last chance, I stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me |Am |C |D |D | Horrified looks from everyone in the room, but I'm only looking at you |G |D/F# |Am |C | I am not the kind of girl, who should be rudely barging in on a white-veil occasion |G |D/F# |Am |C | But you are not the kind of boy, who should be marrying the wrong girl |G |D/F# |Am |C | So don't say yes, run away now, I’ll meet you when you're out of the church at the back |G |D/F# |Am |C | door, don’t wait or say a single vow, you need to hear me out, they said, “Speak |G |D/F# | now”, you'll say, "Let's run away now (run away now) |Am |C | I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back |G |D/F# | door, baby, I didn't say my vows (say a single vow) |Am |C | So glad you were around when they said, 'Speak now’ |G |
