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
