E          B
We were called sluts

from the time we were five

And teased so fucking bad

that we thought we would die
E
We were the girls in tight jeans

who always walked alone

And rode our bikes late at night

to avoid going home

We numbed ourselves out
B
on peppermint schnapps

And super sized sundaes

with chocolate sauce
           E
We stole cheap locks

from the hardware store

And put em up with butter knives

on our bedroom doors

We ran so fast

        B
In the movie they show us

in each other's arms

But the truth is

we almost always cried alone
        E
We gave handjobs quick

and always with a smile

So it didn't get too weird

and we didn't have to die
B
We lived in light switches

and painted walls
                   E
And spent too many hours

at the food court at the mall
          F
We smoked pin joints

under fluorescent lights

And wore shorts at the beach
        B
just to hide our thighs

We ran so fast

B
Years later we'd be told
                F
that we weren't real punks

By boys in bands who acted
         E
like our dads when they were drunk

And they can all brag now
B
'bout how they were there
        E
When we took over the stage

and took our fair share
F
But whatever the truth,

in the end we made
E
Tiny islands where we

didn't always have to be afraid
B
And an X will forever mark the spot
   E
When we decided
        F
we had had just about enough
E

E      B
We ran so fast

We ran so fast
