Verse
[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]
Stealin' police cars with the senior guys
[Bb] [C]
Teachers said we'd never make it out alive
[Dm] [C]
There she was my new best friend
[Bb] [C]
High heels in her hands, swayin' in the wind
[Dm] [C] [Am]
While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes:
"Lana, how I hate those guys."
Chorus
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls
[Dm] [C]
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
[Bb] [C]
Something that we'd die for, it's a curse
[Dm] [C]
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls
[Dm] [C]
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first
[Dm] [C]
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
[Am]
It's all gonna happen
Verse
[Dm] [C] [Bb]
And that's where the beginning of the end begun
[C] [Dm]
Everybody knew that we had too much fun
[G] [Bb]
We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job
[C]
(With the boss)
[Dm] [C]
Sweet sixteen and we had arrived
[Bb] [C]
Baby's table dancin' at the local dive
[Dm] [C]
Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight
[Am]
Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night
[Dm] [C]
Know we used to go break in
[Bb] [C]
to the hotel pool, glittering we'd swim
[Dm] [C]
Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops
[A]
screaming, "Get us while we're hot"
"We don't give a whaaat!"
Chorus
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls
[Dm] [C]
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
[Bb] [C]
Something that we'd die for, it's a curse
[Dm] [C]
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls
[Dm] [C]
We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first
[Dm] [C]
Don't cry about him, don't cry about him
[Am]
It's all gonna happen
Verse
[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 'cause I know I'm never comin' back.
Chorus
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls
[Dm] [C]
We don't look for heaven and we put our love first
[Bb] [C]
Something that we'd die for, it's a curse
[Dm] [C]
Don't cry about it, don't cry about it
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls
[Dm] [C]
Darlin' little queens do you know what you're worth?
[Dm] [C]
I'll tell you everyday till you get it, girl
[Am]
It's all gonna happen
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [C] [Dm] [C]
Why we rule the world now, baby oh baby oh baby oh
[Bb] [C]
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [C] [Am]
It's why we rule the world now, baby, oh baby oh
