Selection chords: Katie Paterson

D#m                   C#       B
Remember how we used to party up all night
           C#                  D#m
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
           C#         B
Drinking in the small town firelight
        C#
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)

D#m              C#
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
B                    C#
Walking down the street as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"
D#m                   C#
Stealinʼ police cars with the senior guys
B                      C#
Teachers said weʼd never make it out alive

D#m                C#
There she was my new best friend
         B                 C#
High heels in her hands, swayinʼ in the wind
              D#m              C#              A#m
While she starts to cry, mascara runninʼ down her
little Bambi eyes:
"Lana, how I hate those guys."

B                C#
This is what makes us girls
            D#m                  C#
We donʼt look for heaven and we put our love first
              B            C#
Donʼt you know weʼd die for it? Itʼs a curse
       D#m            C#
Donʼt cry about it, donʼt cry about it
B                C#
This is what makes us girls
              D#m                   C#
We donʼt stick together ʼcause we put our love first
            D#m            C#
Donʼt cry about him, donʼt cry about him
           A#m
Itʼs all gonna happen

D#m                        C#     B
And thatʼs where the beginning of the end begun
       C#                 D#m
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
             G#                B
We were skippinʼ school and drinkinʼ on the job
         C#
(With the boss)

D#m              C#
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
B                  C#
Babyʼs table dancinʼ at the local dive
D#m                C#
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
A#m
Drinkinʼ cherry schnapps in the velvet night

D#m                C#
Know we used to go break in
         B              C#
to the hotel pool, glittering weʼd swim
            D#m               C#
Runninʼ from the cops in our black bikini tops
                     A#
screaming, "Get us while weʼre hot"
"We donʼt give a whaaat!"

B                C#
This is what makes us girls
            D#m                  C#
We donʼt look for heaven and we put our love first
              B            C#
Donʼt you know weʼd die for it? Itʼs a curse
       D#m            C#
Donʼt cry about it, donʼt cry about it
B                C#
This is what makes us girls
              D#m                   C#
We donʼt stick together ʼcause we put our love first
            D#m            C#
Donʼt cry about him, donʼt cry about him
           A#m
Itʼs all gonna happen

D#m                  C#
The prettiest crowd that you had ever seen
B                  C#
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
  D#m                C#
A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens
B        C#
And you know something?

         D#m            C#
They were the only friends I ever had
        B                 C#
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
       D#m                C#
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
B                    C#
Crying ʼcause I know Iʼm never cominʼ back.

B                C#
This is what makes us girls
            D#m                  C#
We donʼt look for heaven and we put our love first
              B            C#
Donʼt you know weʼd die for it? Itʼs a curse
       D#m            C#
Donʼt cry about it, donʼt cry about it
B                C#
This is what makes us girls
          D#m                    C#
Darlinʼ little queens do you know what youʼre worth?
             D#m             C#
Iʼll tell you everyday till you get it, girl
          A#m
Itʼs all gonna happen

B              C#
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
D#m               C#
This is why we rule the world now, baby.
B              C#
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
D#m         C#
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh.
