Royals

There are different ways to play this song. Some people only play the chorus and
not the verses. Another way is to strum the D only for the verses. I played that
way, but I prefer this way better.

Verse 1

D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
C G
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
D C
And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
G
No postcode envy


Chorus

D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy

Verse 2

D
My friends and I we've cracked the code
C G
We count our dollars on the train to the party
D C
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
G
We didn't come from money


Chorus

D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair


D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy


D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
G
And I'm in love with being queen (king)
D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
Life's a game without a care
G
We aren't caught up in your love affair
D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy
