[intro]
Bm  Bm  Bm  Bm

[verse]
     Bm
On a Sunday afternoon, while her

daddy shouts that good news
          F#
Under the steeple
      Bm
She's learning his to fill,

watching her blood rise as it fills
        F#
Up that needle
         E
Hell and Heaven in her arm,

got her mother spinning yarn
            Bm
To all God's people
       F#
And as quiet as she's kept,
       E
Ain't nobody been fooled yet
                Bm
The whole world knows

[verse 2]
         Bm
From the time that she was three,

most anyone could see
             F#
That girl was trouble
           Bm
And to her family's dismay,

Where they lead her, she would stray
             F#
And she would struggle
              E
She showed up strung out and serene

at her surprise Sweet Sixteen
         Bm
Not even humble
       F#
Took a bite right out the cake,
       E
didn't say one word of grace
               Bm
The whole word knows

[bridge]

[break]
E    Bm
Ooh, Ahh
F#   E                Bm
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
             E
So she don't bother going far ,

that's why she's in her daddy's car
                Bm
Basically worth dying
           F#
So let the church folks say "Amen",
       E
act surprised by the end
                     Bm
When the whole world knows
            F#
Don't act surprised by the end
            E
Just let me rest and say "Amen"
                Bm
The whole world knows
