The 1975 - Girls

      NOT THE PROPER ACOUSTIC VERSION. This is just how I play it when I'm jammin' with friends.

Intro:
B F# E E x4


Verse #1:
B                            E
Bite your face to spite your nose
B                   E
17 and a half years old
B
Worrying about
E
My brother finding out
B                                   E
What's the fun in doing what you're told?


Pre-Chorus:
          E
I said, "No!"
F#                  Abm              B
"Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you"
E                             F#
"I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old
Abm                       B
Give me a night I'll make you"
E                                           F#                        Abm          B
"I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age, but girl I'm not your savior."
Abm            F#
Wrestle to the ground
    E
God help me now because


Chorus:
             B     F#              E
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#
They're just girls
             E
They're just girls


Verse #2:
E                F#       Abm     B
A pair of frozen hands to hold,
            E               F#        Abm  
Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold,
    B            E                F#
One moment I was tearing off your blouse,
           Abm          B
Now you're living in my house.
     E                F#              Abm   B
What happened to just messing around?


Pre-Chorus
         E     F#                   Abm          B
I said, "Yo, I think you better go; I can't take you."
          E                       F#                   Abm              B
"You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it."
       E                                 F#                       Abm         B
"Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?"
Abm            F#
Wrestle to the ground
    E
God help me now because

Chorus x2:(repeat first chorus)

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...
