[Verse 1]
E
Girls like us like cotton candy
G                A
Plastic handbags alcohol
E                            
Girls like us sometimes ignore 
               G
people on the street
                    A
Even though they’re people 

that we know
E
Girls like us sneak breaks 

at Wendy’s
    G              A
And girls like us invented jazz
E
Girls like us have no foundations
G                  A
Creation myths are so passé
 
 
[Chorus]
E    G  A
Girls
     E    G  A
Like us
E    G  A
Girls
     E    G  A
Like us
 
 
[Verse 2]
E
Girls like us might flock 

to scandals
    G                   A
But girls like us don’t give a sh*t
E
Girls like us pick up 

the hot handles
             G     
And burn our hands 
           A
and we get over it
E
Girls like us use highlighter pens
  G                     A
Especially to write our poems
E
Girls like us stand back to back
                 G   
Just because you know 
           A
We want to know
 
 
[Chorus]
E    G  A
Girls
     E    G  A
Like us
E    G  A
Girls
     E    G  A
Like us

[Verse 3]
E
Girls like us eat salt 

for breakfast
G                 A
Girls like us are good at that
E
Girls like us refuse to hang
G                     A
License plates on our bedroom walls
E
Girls like us carry our passports
        G           
Just in case you know 
   A
We have to go
E
Girls like us are most perfect
           G           
When we’re biting off 
        A 
All our fingernails
 
 
[Chorus]
E    G  A
Girls
     E    G  A
Like us
E    G  A

[Verse 4]
E
Girls like us use 

highlighter pens
  G                     A
Especially to write our poems
E
Girls like us stand back to back
       G            
Just because you know 
   A
We need to know
E
Girls like us are maybe 

most perfect
           G          
When we’re biting off 
        A
All our fingernails
E
Girls like us love the calm
                G        A
Just before it starts to hail
