Speak Nowv7

Capo: 3

For the first part of the song, until the chorus, or even the pre-chorus if you'd like,

grab the first string of the chord and the B and little E string and just pluck it

Kind of like her song "Untouchable".

But for the rest it's kind of a swinging strum, if you listen to the song you should be

to pick it up.

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

Em G (single strum)

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

I walk in and see your friends

And her snotty little family

All dressed in pastel

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

This is surely not what you thought it would be

I lose myself in a day dream

Where I stand and say

Don't say yes

Run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church

At the back door

Don't wait

Or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

G(single strum)

And they said "speak now".

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 not invited

By your lovely bride-to-be

She floats down the isle

Like a pagent queen

I know you wish it was me

You wish it was me

Don't you?

**Repeat chorus just like above

Don't say yes

Run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church

At the back door

Don't wait

Or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

And they said "speak now"

Don't say yes

Run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church

At the back door

Don't wait

Or say single vow

Your time is running out

And they said "speak now"

I hear the preacher say

"Speak now or forever hold your peace"

Theres a silence, there's my last chance

I stand up with shaking hands

All eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room

But I'm only looking at you

I'm 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

**Repeat chorus as shown above

Don't say yes

Run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church

At the back door

Don't wait

Or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

And they said "speak now"

Then you say

Let's run away now

I'll meet you when I'm out of the my tux

At the back door

Baby

I didn't say my vows

So glad you were around

When they said "speak now"

D(single strum)
