This is what makes us girls
           by
      Lana Del Rey


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.

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
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
This is why we rule the world now, baby.
Bb                     C
This is what makes us girls now, baby.
Dm              C
Why we rule the world now, baby, oh.
