(Note: not sure if 100% accurate. This is just how I like to play it.)
[Verse]
B E Bite your face to spite your nose B E 17 and a half years old B E I'm worrying about my brother finding out B E Where's the fun in doing what you're told? B I said "No! F# E Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you B F# I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old E Give me a night I'll make you. B F# I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, E But girl I'm not your saviour" B F# Wrestle to the ground E God help me now
[Chorus]
B, F#, E (in between the F# and E, you can slide from the fourth fret to
the sixth, on the D-string, like they do in the song)- repeat throughout
B F# E Cause they're just girls breaking hearts B F# E Eyes bright, uptight, just girls B F# E But she can't be what you need if she's 17 B F# E They're just girls B F# E They're just girls
[Verse]
B E A pair of frozen hands to hold, B E Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold, B One moment I was tearing off your blouse, E Now you're living in my house. B E What happened to just messing around? B F# E I said "Yo, I think I better go; I can't take you. B F# E You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it. B F# E Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?" B F# Wrestle to the ground E God help me now
[Chorus]
B F# E Cause they're just girls breaking hearts B F# E Eyes bright, uptight, just girls B F# E But she can't be what you need if she's 17 B F# E They're just girls B F# E They're just girls
[Verse]
E (x2) B F# I told her from the start E (x2) B F# Destined to be hard E (x2) I told her from the start B F# I'll break your heart E (x2) Destined to be hard B F# Break your heart B F# E I said "Yo, I think you'd better go; I can't take you. B F# I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, E But girl I'm not your saviour. B F# E Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?" B F# Wrestle to the ground E God help me now
[Chorus]
