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


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


Chorus -repeat Bb F 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


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


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


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


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


Outro -repeat Bb F 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...
