[Intro 1]
[G]
[F]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
I [C]had no [D]idea how [G]much I need her
In [C]peaceful times I [G]hold
her close and I feed her
My [C]heart starts palpitat[G]ing
When I think my guess was wrong
[D]But I think I'll get[C] alo[D]ne
[G]She's just a [F]girl
She's a bomb

[Verse 2]
[G]Athena
[C]All I ever want [D]to [G]do is please [D]her
[G]My lif[C]e has been so set[G]tled
And she's the reason
[C]Just one word [D]from her
And my [G]troubles are long gone
But I think I'll [C]get [G]along
She's just a [F]girl
She's a bomb
She's [D]a bomb[C]
[D]Just [G]a girl, just [C]a girl[D][C]
Just [G]a girl, just [C]a girl[D][C]
Just [G]a girl, just [C]a girl[D]
[C]She's just a [G]girl[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Athena[D]
My [C]heart felt like [D]a shattered
glass in an [G]acid bath
[D]I felt like o[C]ne of those flattened ants
[G]You find on a crazy [D]path
I'd have [C]stopped myself to
[G]give her time
She didn't need to ask
Was I a [C]suicidal psy[D]chopath
She's just a [F]girl
She's a bomb
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
Con[G]sumed
There was a [C]beautiful white [D]horse
I [G]saw on a dream [D]stage
He had a [C]snake the size of a [D]sewer pipe
[G]Livin' in his rib [D]cage
[G]I

[Verse 4]
[C]felt like a pickled priest
[D]Who was bei[G]ng flambed
You've got me [C]re
quisitioned [D]blondie
[G]She's just a [F]girl
She's a bomb
I'm happy
She's a bomb
I'm [D]ecstatic
Just [G]a girl, just [C]a girl[D]
[C]Just [G]a girl, just a [C]girl
[D]Just [C]a g[G]irl, just a gi[C]rl[D]
[C]Just a gir[G]l[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Gsus4][C][G]
[C][D][C]

[Verse 5]
[C]Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Before the mem'ry [G]claimed[C]
How long would children remain
How long could children remain

[Verse 6]
[G]Athena
You picked me [C]up by my lapels
[D]And screamed "le[G]ave her"
I felt like [C]waking up in heav[G]en
On an empty [D]meter
And [C]now you're stuck
With a [D]castrated [G]leader[D]
And I [C]hate [D]the creep[G][F]
I didn't mean that
She's a bomb
I just said it
She's a bomb
Please She's a bomb

[Verse 7]
[G]Athena
[C]I had no i[D]dea how much I n[G]eed h[D]er
My [C]life has been so [D]settled
And [G]she's [D]the reason
[C]Just one word from her
[D]And my troubles are [G]long gone
[D]Ooh[G] but I get[C] alo[D]ng
She's just a [F]girl
She's a bomb
She's just a girl
She's a bomb
