A	G	D
A	G	D

	  A                           G       D            A      G    D
There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder
	    A                    G
I thought I heard you mention my name
          D	   E
Can't you talk any louder?
	       F#m
Don't come any closer
	       E/G#
Don't come any nearer
	     A		       D
My vision of you can't get any clearer
   A G    D            A	  G	D
Oh I just want to hear girls talk
        A	    G		 D	  E
I got a loaded imagination being fired by girls' talk
	    F#m			      E/G#
But I can't say the words you want to hear
	  A			  D
I suppose you're going to have to play it by ear
	       A	G
Right here and now
      D
Girls talk
	 A		  G
And they want to know how
      D
Girls talk
	 A			G
And they say it's not allowed
      D
Girls talk

If they say that it's so
			       E
Don't you think that I know by now?


That the word upon everyone's lips
Stick that you're dedicated
Though you may not be an old-fashioned girl
You're still going to get dated
Was it really murder?
Were you just pretending?
Lately I have heard you are the living end

Girls talk and they wanna know about her
Girls talk they wanna know if I care
Girls talk and they wanna know where yeah
Girls talk
Girls talk
