Selection chords: Katie Paterson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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