[Verse]
Am
On a Sunday afternoon, while her daddy shouts that good news
E
Under the steeple
Am
She's learning his to fill, watching her blood rise as it fills
E
Up that needle
D
Hell and Heaven in her arm, got her mother spinning yarn
Am
To all God's people
E D
And as quiet as she's kept, Ain't nobody been fooled yet
Am
[Verse 2]
Am
From the time that she was three, most anyone could see
E
That girl was trouble
Am
And to her family's dismay, Where they lead her, she would stray
E
And she would struggle
D
She showed up strung out and serene at her surprise Sweet Sixteen
Am
Not even humble
E D
Took a bite right out the cake, didn't say one word of grace
Am
The whole word knows
[Bridge]
| Am | Am | E | E | Am | Am | Em | Em |
D Am
Ooh, Ahh
E D Am
Ooh, the whole world knows
[Verse 3]
N.C.
Ain't no secrets that exist, in a town as small as this
N.C.
No need denying
N.C.
'Cause she was never gonna be, the kind of girl her mother'd need
N.C.
To keep from crying
D
So she don't bother going far ,that's why she's in her daddy's car
Am
Basically worth dying
E D
So let the church folks say "Amen", act surprised by the end
Am
When the whole world knows
E
Don't act surprised by the end
D
Just let me rest and say "Amen"
Am
The whole world knows
