[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
[Outro]
Bb C Dm C
Bb C Dm Am
