So this is my first chord tab I've ever done so it may not be perfect.
The end of the second line in the chorus I'm unsure of and any suggestions
on that would be greatly appreciated.  Otherwise, here it is,
hope you enjoy it!
G G G G
GI am Gnot the kind of giDrlD  
Who should be rAmudely Ambarging in on a Cwhite veil oCccasion
But Gyou Gare not the kind of bDoyD  
Who should be Ammarrying Amthe wrong girlC  
GI sneak in and see your Dfriends, and her Amsnotty little family
All dCressed in pastel
And Gshe is yelling at a bDridesmaid, somewhere Amback inside a room
Wearing a Cgown shaped like a pastry
AmThis Cis suGrely not what you thought it would Dbe
AmI loCse myself in a Ddaydream where I stand and say
GDon't say yes, Drun away now
AmI'll meet you when you're out of the Cchurch at the backdoorG  
Don't wait or Dsay a single vow
AmYou need to hear me out and they Csaid speak now
G D Am C
GFun gestures are Dexchanged
And the Amorgan starts to play a song that Csounds like a death march
And GI am hiding in the Dcurtains
It seems that AmI was uninvited by your Clovely bride-to-be
AmShe Cfloats down the aisle like a Gpageant queenD  
AmBut I Cknow you Dwish it was me, you Dwish it was me
Don't you?
GDon't say yes, Drun away now
AmI'll meet you when you're out of the Cchurch at the backdoorG  
Don't wait or Dsay a single vow
AmYou need to hear me out and they Csaid speak now
GDon't say yes, Drun away now
AmI'll meet you when you’re out of the Cchurch at the backdoorG  
Don't wait or Dsay a single vow
AmYour time is running out and they Csaid speak now
( G   D   Am  C)x2
AmI hear the preacher say Cspeak now or forever Ghold your Dpeace
AmThere's the silence, there's my last chance
CI stand up with shaking hands, all Deyes on me
AmHorrified Amlooks from Ceveryone in the Croom
But DI'm only Dlooking at Dyou
GI am Gnot the kind of giDrlD  
Who should be rAmudely Ambarging in on a Cwhite veil oCccasion
But Gyou Gare not the kind of bDoyD  
Who should be Ammarrying Amthe wrong girlC  
GDon't say yes, Drun away now
AmI'll meet you when you're out of the Cchurch at the backdoorG  
Don't wait or Dsay a single vow
AmYou need to hear me out and they Csaid speak now
GAnd you say lets Drun away now
AmI'll meet when I'm out of my Ctux at the backdoorG  
Baby I Ddidn't say my vows, Amso glad you were around
When they Csaid "Speak now"G  

The story behind the song

Swift wrote the track after a friend shared a story about a guy she had an infatuation with who was going to marry someone else. The lyrics describe Swift interrupting a wedding because she believes the bride is unsuitable for the groom, who ultimately runs away with her. It's a country rock and pop song that begins with acoustic guitars and Swift's vocals.

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?
