[Verse 1]
C G C G F G
I met Dinah at the Bible study when I was eight years old
C G C G F G
She was just a story to them, but to me she was more than they told
F G F G
They said “Be God fearing, don’t be messing with those non-believing”
[Chorus]
F Am E F Am
So I’ve been in the church making sure no one’s looking up my skirt But I do not feel
E
safe here
F Am E F Am E
I wanna feel alive, do you thrive knowing that our God favours you over me dear?
[Verse 2]
C G C G F G
Dinah’s old man said he thought all of her girlfriends were whores
C G C G F G
In the end she got exactly what she’d been searching for
F G F G
When that man took her out for a spin, she said no but he did not listen
[Chorus]
F Am E F Am
So I’ve been in the church making sure no one’s looking up my skirt But I do not feel
E
safe here
F Am E F Am E
I wanna feel alive, do you thrive knowing that our God favours you over me dear?
[Bridge]
F Am G
The same thing happened to me when I was only seventeen
F Am G
Do you think I got what I deserved? Do you think God's just trying to be seen?
F C F G
By us non-believers? By us non-God fearers?
[Chorus]
F Am E F Am
So I’ve been in the church making sure no one’s looking up my skirt But I do not feel
E
safe here
F Am E F Am E
I wanna feel alive, do you thrive knowing that our God favours you over me dear?
[Outro]
F Am E
Two witness rule, oh that’s cool
F Am E
Go ahead and play the fool while I do not feel safe here
F Am E
I’ve been in the church but the church is in my skirt
F Am E
I’ve been in the church but the church is in my skirt
F Am E
I’ve been in the church but the church is in my skirt
F Am E
And my skirt defines my worth in the church, Dear daddy
