[Verse]
B E
Bite your face to spite your nose
B E
17 and a half years old
B E
I'm worrying about my brother finding out
B E
Where's the fun in doing what you're told?
B
I said "No!
F# E
Oh give it a rest
I could persuade you
B F#
I'm not your typical
stoned 18 year old
E
Give me a night I'll make you.
B F#
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
E
But girl I'm not your saviour"
B F#
Wrestle to the ground
E
God help me now
B F#
E (in between the F# and E
you can slide from the fourth fret to
the sixth
like they do in the song)- repeat throughout
B F# E
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
B F# E
Eyes bright
uptight
just girls
B F# E
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
B F# E
They're just girls
B F# E
They're just girls
B E
A pair of frozen hands to hold
B E
Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold
B
One moment I was tearing off your blouse
E
Now you're living in my house.
B E
What happened to just messing around?
B F# E
I said "Yo
I think I better go; I can't take you.
B F# E
You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it.
B F# E
Well
shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
B F#
Wrestle to the ground
E
God help me now
[Chorus]
B F# E
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
B F# E
Eyes bright
uptight
just girls
B F# E
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
B F# E
They're just girls
B F# E
They're just girls
[Verse]
E (x2) B F#
I told her from the start
E (x2) B F#
Destined to be hard
E (x2)
I told her from the start
B F#
I'll break your heart
E (x2)
Destined to be hard
B F#
Break your heart
B F# E
I said "Yo
I think you'd better go; I can't take you.
B F#
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
E
But girl I'm not your saviour.
B F# E
Well
shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
B F#
Wrestle to the ground
E
God help me now
with the slide)
B F# E
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
B F# E
Eyes bright
uptight
just girls
B F# E
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
B F# E
They're just girls
B F# E
They're just girls
B F# E
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
B F# E
Eyes bright
uptight
just girls
B F# E
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
B F# E
They're just girls
B F# E
They're just girls

Cause they're just girls...
B F# E
Just girls
they're just girls...
