Eb                           Ab   
I like your face despite your nose
 Eb                   Ab
17 and a half years old
    Eb                 Ab
I'm worrying about my brother finding out
            Eb                        Ab
Where's the fun in doing what you're told?


        Eb
I said "No!
Bb                   Ab
Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you
             Eb                    Bb
I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old
           Ab
Give me a night I'll make you.
               Eb                           Bb
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age,
              Ab
But girl I'm not your saviour"
Eb               Bb
Wrestle to the ground
    Ab
God help me now


Chorus -repeat Eb Bb E-:
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls


  Eb                       Ab
a pair of frozen hands to hold,
             Eb                        Ab
Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold,
                 Eb                
One moment I was tearing off your blouse,
           Ab
Now you're living in my house.
     Eb                        Ab
What happened to just messing around?


       Eb            Bb           Ab
I said "Yo, I think I better go; I can't take you.
         Eb                       Bb                    Ab
You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it.
      Eb                             Bb                            Ab
Well, shouldn't you be xxxxing with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
Eb               Bb
Wrestle to the ground
Ab
God help me now


Chorus -repeat Eb Bb E-:
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls


    Ab -x2-                 Eb Bb
I told her from the start
    Ab -x2-                 Eb Bb
Destined to be hard
    Ab -x2-                
I told her from the start
     Eb          Bb
I'll break your heart
     Ab -x2-                
Destined to be hard
 Eb         Bb   
Break your heart


        Eb     Bb                     Ab
I said "Yo, I think you'd better go; I can't take you.
               Eb                           Bb
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age,
             Ab
But girl I'm not your saviour.
         Eb                              Bb                        Ab
Well, shouldn't you be xxxxing with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
Eb               Bb
Wrestle to the ground
     Ab
God help me now


Outro -repeat Eb Bb E-:
Cause they're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls

They're just girls breaking hearts
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
But she can't be what you need if she's 17
They're just girls
They're just girls

Cause they're just girls...
Just girls, they're just girls...
