Selection chords: Katie Paterson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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