Selection chords: Katie Paterson

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

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

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

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

Cm                        A#     Ab
And thatʼs where the beginning of the end begun
       A#                 Cm
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
             F                Ab
We were skippinʼ school and drinkinʼ on the job
         A#
(With the boss)

Cm              A#
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
Ab                  A#
Babyʼs table dancinʼ at the local dive
Cm                A#
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
Gm
Drinkinʼ cherry schnapps in the velvet night

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

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

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

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

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

Ab              A#
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
Cm               A#
This is why we rule the world now, baby.
Ab              A#
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
Cm         A#
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh.
