Speak Now

(G)I am not the kind of (D)girl who should be (Am7)rudely bargin' in on a (C)white veil occasion,

but (G)you are not the kind of (D)boy who should be (Am7)marryin' the wrong girl.

(G)I sneak in and see your (D)friends and her (Am7)snotty little family all (C)dressed in pastel.

And (G5)she is yelling at a (D)bridesmaid somewhere (Am7)back inside a room,

wearing a (C)gown shaped like a pastry.

(Am7)This (C)is (G)surely not what you thought it would (D)be.

(Am7)I (C)lose myself in a (D)daydream where I stand and (G)say:

Don't say yes, (D)run away now.

I'll (Am7)meet you when you're out of the (C)church at the back door.

(G)Don't wait or (D)say a single vow.

You (Am7)need to hear me out,

and they (C)said speak now.

(Am7)There's a silence, there's my last chance.

(C)I stand up with shaking hands,

all (D)eyes on me.

(Am7)Horrified looks from (C)ev'ryone in the room,

but (D)I'm only looking at you.
