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
