♫ 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
The whole world knows

♫ 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
