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


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


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


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


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


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


Outro -repeat Ab Eb 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...
