Lyrics

I am not the kind of (D)girl who should be (Am7)rude ly barg in’ in on a (C)white veil oc ca sion, but (G5)you are not the kind of (D)boy who should be (Am7)mar ry in’ the wrong girl. (G5)I sneak in and see your (D)friends and her (Am7)snot ty lit tle fam i ly all (C)dressed in pas tel. And (G5)she is yell ing at a (D)brides maid some where (Am7)back in side a room, wear ing a gown shaped like a pas try. (Am7)This (C)is (G)sure ly not what you thought it would (D)be. (Am7)I lose my self in a (D)day dream (CN.C.)where I stand, and say: Don’t say yes, (D)run a way now. I’ll (Am7)meet you when you’re out of the (C)church at the back door. Don’t wait or (D)say a sin gle vow. You (Am7)need to hear me out, and they (C)said (CN.C.)speak now. (G)Fond ges tures are ex (D)changed and the (Am7)or gan starts to play a song that (C)sounds like a death march. And (G)I am hid ing in the (D)cur tains. It seems that (Am7)I was un in vit ed by your (C)love ly bride to be. (Am7)She (C)floats down the aisle like a (G)pag eant queen. But (Am7)I (C)know you (D)wish it was me. You wish it was me, don’t you? Don’t say yes, (D)run a way now. I’ll (Am7)meet you when you’re out of the (C)church at the back door. Don’t wait or (D)say a sin gle vow. You (Am7)need to hear me out, and they (C)said speak now. Don’t say yes, (D)run a way now. I’ll (Am7)meet you when you’re out of the (C)church at the back door. Don’t wait or (D)say a sin gle vow. Your (Am7)time is run ning out, and they (C)said speak now. (C)said speak now. (Em)I hear the preach er say, (C)“Speak now or for ev er (G)hold your (D)peace.” (Am7)There’s a si lence, there’s my last chance. (C)I stand up with shak ing hands, all (D)eyes on me. (Am7)Hor ri fied looks from (C)ev ’ry one in the room, but (D)I’m on ly look ing at you. (G)I am not the kind of (D)girl who should be (Am7)rude ly barg in’ in on a (C)white veil oc ca sion, but (G)you are not the kind of (D)boy who should be (Am7)mar ry in’ the wrong girl. So don’t say yes, (D)run a way now. I’ll (Am7)meet you when you’re out of the (C)church at the back door. Don’t wait or (D)say a sin gle vow. You (Am7)need to hear me out, and they (C)said speak now. And you say, “Let’s (D)run a way now. I’ll (Am7)meet you when I’m out of my (C)tux at the back door. Ba by, I (D)did n’t say my vows. So (Am7)glad you were a round when they (C)said speak now.”
