Royals

G

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town

No post code envy

G                        

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,

F                              C

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.

                      G

But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.

F                          C

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

   

                   G

And we'll never be royals..

It don't run in our blood,

             F

That kind of lux just ain't for us.

            C

We crave a different kind of buzz.

                G

Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee

                F

And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.

C

Let me live that fantasy.

G

My friends and I we've cracked the code.

We count our dollars on the train to the party.

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,

We didn't come from money.

G                        

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,

F                              C

We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.

                      G

But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.

F                          C

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

                   G

And we'll never be royals..

It don't run in our blood,

             F

That kind of lux just ain't for us.

            C

We crave a different kind of buzz.

                G

Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee

                F

And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.

C

Let me live that fantasy.

G     

Oooh ooooh ohhh

F                               C

We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen.

G                    F

Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh life is game without a care

            C

We aren't caught up in your love affair.

                    G

And we'll never be royals..

It don't run in our blood,

             F

That kind of lux just ain't for us.

            C

We crave a different kind of buzz.

                G

Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee

                F

And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.

C

Let me live that fantasy.
