This Is What Makes Us Girls

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." Bb C This is what makes us girls Dm C We don't look for heaven and we put our love first Bb C Don't you know we'd die for it? 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 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!" Bb C This is what makes us girls Dm C We don't look for heaven and we put our love first Bb C Don't you know we'd die for it? 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 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.

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?
