Speak Now

|  D  | A F#m | Bm |  G  | D G |  D  | D G |  D  |
                     Hmm          Hey, yeah

[Verse 1]
               D                     A
There ain't no reason for me to hang around this town no more
          Bm                  A              G
I'm gonna pack it up, move on out, and start searching for the shore
            D                       A
And sell my life as I know it to anyone with land to buy
          Bm                        A             G
'Cause it ain't worth much to me to stay here and sit around and cry

[Chorus]
            A                  F#m              Bm A G
But, if you think you're gonna miss me when I'm go-o-one,
      D            G                  D
Speak now, darling, or you will never know...

[Verse 2]
              D                                  A
Well, I don't care if you like it 'cause, honey, this is not your life
       Bm                             G
I will never be held prisoner, I will never be your wife
               D                              A
I learned that friends are overrated, oh, and lovers come and go
       Bm                                       G
But if all you do is dream about it, well, then you've got nothing to show

[Chorus]
           A                  F#m              Bm A G
But if you think you're gonna miss me when I'm go-o-one,
D                  G                  D
Speak now, darling, or you will never know. . . Hmm. . .

[Verse 3]
                D                            A
Hmm, for once the engine starts turning and these wheels, they hit the road
        Bm               A       G
I ain't ever coming back to this town called Chicago
              D                                        A
Oh, well, I'm leaving it all behind me, there ain't no place that I call home
        Bm
And I'm tearing this heart right off of my sleeve
                G
And, honey, I'm turning it into stone

[Chorus]
             A               F#m               Bm A G
Ooh, well, I think I'm gonna miss you When I'm go-o-one
    D             A
So, kiss me once, kiss me twice,
Bm                       G
Maybe I'll stay for just one more night
           D
And honey, say what you feel,
       A
Please mean what you say
        Bm            G
I wanna hold onto you one more day

[Outro]
           A                  F#m              Bm A G    G
But if you think you're gonna miss me when I'm go-o-one,
      D            G               D     D
Speak now, darling, you will never know, ooh,
D                  G               D     D
Speak now, darling, you will never know, ooh,
D                  G
Speak now, darling,
   G             G      G                D
Or you. . . will never. . . you'll never know. . .
