Verse
A     G          A      G        A     G
     "There's a light      that shines
   A              G       
On everything and everyone
A     G          A      G        A     G
      And it shines         so bright -
   A              G       
Brighter, even, than the sun"

That's what Minnie thinks
As she walks to meet her brother
Who's nearly two years older
On a Saturday night
He's DJing at some do
On the edge of town
On the night that Minnie Timperley died

Chorus
A           G           
It's such a beautiful world
D                 G
And you're such a beautiful girl
A                G
So much that you want to try
D                  G
The world wants to sleep with you tonight
    A
But Minnie
G            D
Minnie, if I could
        G
I would give you the rest of my life


How can a girl have sex
With these pathetic teenage wrecks?
Oh, football scarves
The girls drink halves
And her brother's crying
'Cos he has lost his decks

Outside, the air was cool
An older guy sitting in his car
Asked if Minnie needed a ride?
He thought he was still dangerous
(Paunchy, but dangerous)
On the night that Minnie Timperley died 

It's such a beautiful world
You're such a beautiful girl
And he only did what he did
'Cause you looked like one of his kids
But Minnie
Minnie, if I could
I would give you the rest of my life

A                          G
Oh, Minnie, I can feel the pain
                           D
Oh, Minnie, I can feel the pain
                           G
Oh, Minnie, I can feel the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain pain pain pain yeah

Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah...

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!...
