E chordE                           A chordA   

Bite your face to spite your nose

E chordE A chordA

17 and a half years old

E chordE A chordA

I'm worrying about my brother finding out

E chordE A chordA

Where's the fun in doing what you're told?

E chordE

I said "No!

B chordB A chordA

Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you

E chordE B chordB

I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old

A chordA

Give me a night I'll make you.

E chordE B chordB

I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age,

A chordA

But girl I'm not your saviour"

E chordE B chordB

Wrestle to the ground
A chordA

God help me now





[Chorus]



B chordB, F# chordF#, E chordE (in between the F# chordF# and E chordE, you can slide from the fourth fret to

the sixth, on the D chordD-string, like they do in the song)- repeat throughout



E chordE B chordB A chordA

Cause they're just girls breaking hearts

E chordE B chordB A chordA

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

E chordE B chordB A chordA

But she can't be what you need if she's 17

E chordE B chordB A chordA

They're just girls

E chordE B chordB A chordA

They're just girls





[Verse]



E chordE A chordA

A chordA pair of frozen hands to hold,

E chordE A chordA

Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold,

E chordE

One moment I was tearing off your blouse,

A chordA

Now you're living in my house.

E chordE A chordA

What happened to just messing around?


E chordE B chordB A chordA

I said "Yo, I think I better go; I can't take you.

E chordE B chordB A chordA

You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it.

E chordE B chordB A chordA

Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"

E chordE B chordB

Wrestle to the ground

A chordA

God help me now





[Chorus]



E chordE B chordB A chordA

Cause they're just girls breaking hearts

E chordE B chordB A chordA

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

E chordE B chordB A chordA

But she can't be what you need if she's 17

E chordE B chordB A chordA

They're just girls

E chordE B chordB A chordA

They're just girls





[Verse]



A chordA (x2) E chordE B chordB

I told her from the start

A chordA (x2) E chordE B chordB

Destined to be hard

A chordA (x2)

I told her from the start

E chordE B chordB

I'll break your heart

A chordA (x2)

Destined to be hard

E chordE B chordB

Break your heart



E chordE B chordB A chordA

I said "Yo, I think you'd better go; I can't take you.

E chordE B chordB

I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age,

A chordA

But girl I'm not your saviour.

E chordE B chordB A chordA

Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"

E chordE B chordB

Wrestle to the ground

A chordA

God help me now





[Chorus]



(Chorus progression as before: B chordB, F# chordF#, E chordE, with the slide)



E chordE B chordB A chordA

Cause they're just girls breaking hearts

E chordE B chordB A chordA

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

E chordE B chordB A chordA

But she can't be what you need if she's 17

E chordE B chordB A chordA

They're just girls

E chordE B chordB A chordA

They're just girls


E chordE B chordB A chordA

Cause they're just girls breaking hearts

E chordE B chordB A chordA

Eyes bright, uptight, just girls

E chordE B chordB A chordA

But she can't be what you need if she's 17

E chordE B chordB A chordA

They're just girls

They're just girls
