Guitar chords and lyrics: Speak Now Taylor Swift

Standard Tuning
No Capo

G G 

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

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                  G
I---I  lose myself in a daydream
n.C.
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 -stop             
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
 G
You wish it was me
 D -stop
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 laaaahhoh
D                    Am       C  
Oooh(Say you see me now)ooohooh

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
 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                 
Oops! 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 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 -once
When they said "Speak no--ow"
