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

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

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...

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...
