Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
   Dii              E                    A5         E
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
   Dii                  E                    A               E
My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong
                 Dii        E
But I think I'll get along

             G D G D...(as above)
She's just a girl, she's a bomb

Athena, all I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along

She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb

Just a girl, just a girl
       A            D  E   E/D
Just a girl, just a girl
       A            D  E   E/D
Just a girl, just a girl
             A    D
She's just a girl

Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
I felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy path
I'd have topped myself to give her time, she didn't need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath?

She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb

Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his ribcage
And I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You've got me requisitioned blondie

She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb

Just a girl...

             A/C#  D
She's just a girl...

 Look into the face of a child
        D          | E/D               D    | E/D      D  |
Measure how long you smiled before the memory claimed
E/D            D        | E/D D|E/D            D        | E/D    D |
How long would children remain, how long could children remain?

Athena, you picked me up by my lapel and screamed leave her.
I felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter
And now you're stuck with a castrated leader
And I hate the creep

I didn't mean that....

Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along

She's just a girl...
