[Verse 1]
 
F                 G          C   Cmaj9  Am7
Bite your face to spite your nose
F                G          C   Cmaj9  Am7
Seventeen and a half years old
F          G        C      Cmaj9    Am7
Worrying about my brother finding out
             F            G            C   Cmaj9  Am7
Where's the fun in doing what you're told
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
   F       G                 C       Cmaj9     Am7
I said yo, oh give it a rest I could persuade you
              F                G                         C         Cmaj9     Am7
I'm not your typical stoned eighteen year old give me a night I'll make you
               F                            G                        C     Cmaj9   Am7
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age but girl I'm not your saviour
  F              G         C*
Wrestle to the ground, god help me now
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                       F       G            C
Because they're just girls, breaking hearts
       F       G            C
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
         F                 G             C
And she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
               F    G             C
They're just girls, they're just girls
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
   F              G         C   Cmaj9  Am7
A pair of frozen hands to hold
              F              G          C   Cmaj9  Am7
Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold
                   F                G                 C   Cmaj9  Am7
One moment I was tearing off your blouse now you're living at my house
       F               G        C   Cmaj9  Am7
What happened to just messing round
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
        F    G                  C     Cmaj9  Am7
I said yo, think you better go, I can't take you
          F                        G                        C     Cmaj9    Am7
Yeah you sit and get stoned with thirty year olds and you think you've made it
        F                              G                         C   Cmaj9  Am7
Well shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes
  F               G        C*
Wrestle to the ground, god help me now
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                       F       G            C
Because they're just girls, breaking hearts
       F       G            C
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
         F                 G             C
And she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
               F    G             C
They're just girls, they're just girls
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   F                  G        C
I told her from the start
 F              G        C
Destined to be hard
   F                  G
I told her from the start
      C    Cmaj9  Am7
I'll break your heart
 F               G
Destined to be hard
      C    Cmaj9  Am7
I'll break your heart
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
  F       G                 C       Cmaj9     Am7
I said yo, oh give it a rest I could persuade you
              F                G                         C         Cmaj9     Am7
I'm not your typical stoned eighteen year old give me a night I'll make you
               F                            G                        C     Cmaj9   Am7
I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age but girl I'm not your saviour
  F              G         C*
Wrestle to the ground, god help me now
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                       F       G            C
Because they're just girls, breaking hearts
       F       G            C
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
         F                 G             C
And she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
               F    G             C
They're just girls, they're just girls
                   F       G            C
Yeah they're just girls, breaking hearts
       F       G            C
Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
         F                 G             C
And she can't be what you need if she's seventeen
               F    G             C
They're just girls, they're just girls

Lack of accuracy. The verse is incorrect, with respect to the order that the chords are written in. The current verse chords more closely resemble the chorus
