Selection chords: Katie Paterson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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