Intro: G x2
G D
I am not the kinda girl
Am
who should be rudely barging in
Cadd9
on a white vail ocassion
G D
But you are not the kinda boy
Am Cadd9
who should be marrying the wrong girl
G D
I sneak in and see your friends
Am Cadd9
and her snotty little family all dressed in pastels
G D
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Am Cadd9
somewhere back inside her room wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
Am C G D
This is surely not what you thought it would be
Am C G
I lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say...
G D
Don't say yes, run away now
Am Cadd9
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 Cadd9
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
G D Am Cadd9
G D
Fun gestures are exchanged
Am Cadd9
and the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march
G D
And I am hiding in the curtains
Am Cadd9
it seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be
Am C G D
She looks down the aisle like a pageant queen
Am C G D
But I know you wish it was me, you wish it was me…
Don't you?
