(Note: not sure if 100% accurate. This is just how I like to play it.)
B E
I like your face despite 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
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
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 (again, slide from the fourth fret to the sixth, on the D-string,
in between the F# and the E, and repeat
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
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 progression as before: B, F#, E, with the slide)
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...
