E A
Bite your face to spite your nose
E A
17 and a half years old
E A
I'm worrying about my brother finding out
E A
Where's the fun in doing what you're told
E
I said No
B A
Oh give it a rest I could persuade you
E B
I'm not your typical stoned 1 year old
A
Give me a night I'll make you
E B
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
A
But girl I'm not your saviour
E B
Wrestle to the ground
A
God help me now
[Chorus]
B F# E in between the F# and E you can slide from the fourth fret to
the sixth on the D-string like they do in the song - repeat throughout
E B A
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
E B A
Eyes bright uptight just girls
E B A
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
E B A
They're just girls
E B A
They're just girls
[Verse]
E A
A pair of frozen hands to hold
E A
Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold
E
One moment I was tearing off your blouse
A
Now you're living in my house
E A
What happened to just messing around
E B A
I said Yo I think I better go I can't take you
E B A
You just sit and get stoned with 3 year olds and you think you've made it
E B A
Well shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes
E B
Wrestle to the ground
A
God help me now
[Chorus]
E B A
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
E B A
Eyes bright uptight just girls
E B A
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
E B A
They're just girls
E B A
They're just girls
[Verse]
A (x2) E B
I told her from the start
A (x2) E B
Destined to be hard
A (x2)
I told her from the start
E B
I'll break your heart
A (x2)
Destined to be hard
E B
Break your heart
E B A
I said Yo I think you'd better go I can't take you
E B
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
A
But girl I'm not your saviour
E B A
Well shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes
E B
Wrestle to the ground
A
God help me now
[Chorus]
(Chorus progression as before: B, F#, E, with the slide)
E B A
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
E B A
Eyes bright uptight just girls
E B A
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
E B A
They're just girls
E B A
They're just girls
E B A
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
E B A
Eyes bright uptight just girls
E B A
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
E B A
They're just girls
E B A
They're just girls
E B A
Cause they're just girls
E B A
Just girls they're just girls
