DmCBb
Remember how we used to party up all night
CDm
Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life
CBb
Drinking in the small town firelight
C
(Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice)
DmC
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
BbC
Walking down the street as they whistle, "Hi, hi!"
DmC
Stealinʼ police cars with the senior guys
BbC
Teachers said weʼd never make it out alive
DmC
There she was my new best friend
BbC
High heels in her hands, swayinʼ in the wind
DmCAm
While she starts to cry, mascara runninʼ down her
little Bambi eyes:
"Lana, how I hate those guys."
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We donʼt look for heaven and we put our love first
BbC
Donʼt you know weʼd die for it? Itʼs a curse
DmC
Donʼt cry about it, donʼt cry about it
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We donʼt stick together ʼcause we put our love first
DmC
Donʼt cry about him, donʼt cry about him
Am
Itʼs all gonna happen
DmCBb
And thatʼs where the beginning of the end begun
CDm
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
GBb
We were skippinʼ school and drinkinʼ on the job
C
(With the boss)
DmC
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
BbC
Babyʼs table dancinʼ at the local dive
DmC
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
Am
Drinkinʼ cherry schnapps in the velvet night
DmC
Know we used to go break in
BbC
to the hotel pool, glittering weʼd swim
DmC
Runninʼ from the cops in our black bikini tops
A
screaming, "Get us while weʼre hot"
"We donʼt give a whaaat!"
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We donʼt look for heaven and we put our love first
BbC
Donʼt you know weʼd die for it? Itʼs a curse
DmC
Donʼt cry about it, donʼt cry about it
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We donʼt stick together ʼcause we put our love first
DmC
Donʼt cry about him, donʼt cry about him
Am
Itʼs all gonna happen
DmC
The prettiest crowd that you had ever seen
BbC
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
DmC
A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens
BbC
And you know something?
DmC
They were the only friends I ever had
BbC
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
DmC
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
BbC
Crying ʼcause I know Iʼm never cominʼ back.
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
We donʼt look for heaven and we put our love first
BbC
Donʼt you know weʼd die for it? Itʼs a curse
DmC
Donʼt cry about it, donʼt cry about it
BbC
This is what makes us girls
DmC
Darlinʼ little queens do you know what youʼre worth?
DmC
Iʼll tell you everyday till you get it, girl
Am
Itʼs all gonna happen
BbC
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
DmC
This is why we rule the world now, baby.
BbC
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
DmC
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh.
