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


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


Chorus -repeat Db Ab 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


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


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


Chorus -repeat Db Ab 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


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


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

God help me now


Outro -repeat Db Ab 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...
