[Verse 1]
G D
I am not the kind of girl
am C
Who should be rudely barging in 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 am
I sneak in and see your friends and her snotty little family
C
All dressed in pastel
G D am
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid somewhere back inside a room
C
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
am C G D
This is surely not what you thought it would be
am C D G
I lose myself in a daydream I stand and say
[Chorus]
G D
Don t say yes run away now
am C
I ll meet you when you re out of the church at the backdoor
G D
Don t wait or say a single vow
am C G
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
G D am C
[Verse 2]
Fun gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
But I know you wish it was me you wish it was me
Don t you
[Chorus repeated]2x
G D am C (2x)
em C G D
I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace
am
There s the silence there s my last chance
C D
I stand up with shaking hands all eyes on me
am C
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
D
But I m only looking at you
[Verse 1 repeated]
I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
[Chorus repeated]2x
