The Who - Athena: chords

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

Chorus:
E D       A/C#          D   E D       A/C#         D
   Just a girl, just a girl,   just a girl just a girl
E D       A/C#          D   E D            A/C# D
   Just a girl, just a girl,  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 would of topped myself to give her time she did not need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath?
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 rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You got me requisitioned Blondie
She's just a girl – she's a bomb
I'm happy, I'm ecstatic

Chorus

 A/D          E/D         F#/A
Look into the face of a child,
         D            E/D                A/D          E/D D
measure how long you smiled, before the memory claimed
E/D              D         E/A D
How long would children remain?
E/D              D         E/D D
how long would children remain?

Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"
It 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, she's a bomb, I just said it, she's a bomb
Forget it, please, she's a bomb

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