Intro: 
Am Em C G x2

Verse:
Am                         Em    
I remember tears streaming down your face
       C                        G  
When I said, I'll never let you go
Am                     Em                 C           G   
When all those shadows almost killed your light
Am         Em              C             G
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
    Am                  Em              C       
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
 
Chorus:
C                 G
  Just close your eyes
    D            C
The sun is going down

            G
You'll be alright
   D                C
No one can hurt you now

About the liars and dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could've been gettin' down to this sick beat

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate hate baby
G              
I'm just gonna shake shake shake
Shake it off, shake it off

Heart breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
        C
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake baby
G

Shake it off, shake it off (oooh oooh oooh oooh)
Am
Shake it off, I shake it off, I I

speak now - taylor swift

Intro- 
G G 


G                    D
I am not the kind of girl 
              Am
Who should be rudely barging in
     C
On a white veil occasion 
    G                       D
But you are not the kind of boy 
              Am                    C -stop
Who should be marrying the wrong girl


G                       D
I sneak in and see your friends 
        Am            
And her snotty little family 
    C
All dressed in pastel 
    G                   D
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
          Am
Somewhere back inside a room 
          C
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry


Am      C      G
Thi--is i---is surely not 
                          D
What you thought it would be
Am   C                  D
I---I  lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say


G               D                  
Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am                        
I'll meet you when you're out 
       C                      G
Of the church at the back door
              D                       
Don't wait or say a single vow 
Am
You need to hear me out
         C -stop              
And they said "Speak Now"


G D Am C 
     

G                   D
Fond gestures are exchanged 
        Am                         
And the organ starts to play a song 
     C
That sounds like a death march
    G                     D
And I am hiding in the curtains
              Am
It seems that I was uninvited 
        C
By your lovely bride-to-be

Am      C      
She---e floats down the aisle 
       G            D   
Like a pageant queen 
    Am   C
But I--I kno--ow 
    G
You wish it was me
    D -stop
You wish it was me- Don't you?



G               D                  
Don't say "Yes" run away now

I'll meet you when you're out 
       C                      G
Of the church at the back door
              D                       
Don't wait or say a single vow 
Am
You need to hear me out
         C               G
And they said "Speak Now"
                D                 
Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am
I'll meet you when you're out 
       C                      G 
Of the church at the back door
              D
Don't wait or say a single vow 
Am
Your time is running out
         C               G
And they said "Speak Now"


  D    Am    C    G
Ohooho laaaahhoh
D                    Am       C   
Oooh(Say you see me now)ooohooh



Em* -Once               C*
I hear the preacher say speak now 
           G*        D*   D
Or forever hold your pe---ace
Am                 
There's a silence, there's my last chance 
C               
I stand up with shaky hands 
    G       D -once
All eyes on me
Am                        C
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
    D                   D -once
But I'm only lookin' at you



G                    D
I am not the kind of girl 
              Am
Who should be rudely barging in
     C
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                  
Oops! Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am                        
I'll meet you when you're out 
       C                      G
Of the church at the back door
              D                       
Don't wait or say a single vow 
Am
You need to hear me out
     C               G
They said "Speak Now"
                  D
And you say "Lets run away now"
     Am                
I'll meet you when I'm out
      C                    G
Of my tux at the back door
       D
Baby I didn't say my vows
   Am
So glad you were around
          C                  G -once
When they said "Speak no--ow"
