[Dm]Remember how we used to party [C]up all [Bb]night
Sneaking out and [C]looking for a taste of real [Dm]life
Drinking in the [C]small town [Bb]firelight
-Pabst Blue [C]Ribbon on ice-
[Dm]Sweet sixteen and we [C]had arrived
[Bb]Walking down the street as they [C]whistle, "Hi, hi!"
[Dm]Stealin' police cars with the [C]senior guys
[Bb]Teachers said we'd never make it [C]out alive
[Dm]There she was my new best [C]friend
High heels in [Bb]her hands, swayin' in the [C]wind
While she starts to [Dm]cry, mascara runnin' [C]down her little Bambi [Am]eyes:
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls
We don't look for [Dm]heaven and we put our love [C]first
Don't you know we'd [Bb]die for it? It's a [C]curse
Don't cry [Dm]about it, don't cry [C]about it
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls
We don't stick [Dm]together 'cause we put our love [C]first
Don't cry about [Dm]him, don't cry about [C]him
It's all gonna [Am]happen
[Dm]And that's where the beginning of the [C]end [Bb]begun
Everybody [C]knew that we had too much [Dm]fun
We were skippin' [G]school and drinkin' on the [Bb]job
-With the [C]boss-
[Dm]Sweet sixteen and we [C]had arrived
[Bb]Baby's table dancin' at the [C]local dive
[Dm]Cheerin our names in the [C]pink spotlight
[Am]Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night
[Dm]Know we used to go break [C]into the hotel [Bb]pool, glittering we'd [C]swim
Runnin' from the [Dm]cops in our black
bikini [C]tops screaming, "Get us while we're [A]hot"
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls
We don't look for [Dm]heaven and we put our love [C]first
Don't you know we'd [Bb]die for it? It's a [C]curse
Don't cry [Dm]about it, don't cry [C]about it
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls
We don't stick [Dm]together 'cause we put our love [C]first
Don't cry about [Dm]him, don't cry about [C]him
It's all gonna [Am]happen
[Dm]The prettiest crowd that you [C]had ever seen
[Bb]Ribbons in our hair and our [C]eyes gleamed mean
A [Dm]freshmen generation of [C]degenerate beauty queens
[Bb]And you know [C]something?
They were the [Dm]only friends I ever [C]had
We got into [Bb]trouble and when stuff got [C]bad
I got sent [Dm]away, I was waving on the [C]train platform
[Bb]Crying 'cause I know I'm never [C]comin' back.
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls
We don't look for [Dm]heaven and we put our love [C]first
Don't you know we'd [Bb]die for it? It's a [C]curse
Don't cry [Dm]about it, don't cry [C]about it
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls
Darlin' little [Dm]queens do you know what you're [C]worth?
I'll tell you [Dm]everyday till you get it, [C]girl
It's all gonna [Am]happen
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls now, baby.
[Dm]This is why we rule the [C]world now, baby.
[Bb]This is what makes us [C]girls now, baby.
[Dm]Why we rule the [C]world now, baby, oh.
