Dm C A# Remember how we used to party up all night C Dm Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life C A# Drinking in the small town firelight C (Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice) Sweet sixteen and we had arrived Walkin' down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi" Stealin' police cars with the senior guys Teachers said we'd never make it out alive Dm C There she was my new best friend A# C High heels in her hands, swayin' in the wind Dm While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' C Am down her little Bambi eyes: "Lana, how I hate those guys." Chorus: A# C This is what makes us girls Dm C We don't look for heaven and we put our love first A# C Something that we'd die for, it's a curse Dm C Don't cry about it, don't cry about it A# C This is what makes us girls Dm C We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first A# Don't cry about him, don't cry about him Am It's all gonna happen And that's where the beginning of the end begun Everybody knew that we had too much fun We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job With the boss Sweet sixteen and we had arrived Baby's table dancin' at the local dive Cheerin' our names in the pink spotlight Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night Yeah, we used to go break into the hotel Glimmering, we'd swim Running from the cops in our black bikini tops Screamin', "Get us while we're hot, get us while we're hot" (C'mon, take a shot) Chorus The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens And you know something? They were the only friends I ever had We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away, I was wavin' on the train platform Cryin' 'cause I know I'm never comin' back Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  C  Dm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
