Chords

[Verse 1]

                   D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

         D
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

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

No postcode envy [Pre-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

[Chorus]

                   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

             D
We count our dollars on the train to the party

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

We didn't come from money [Pre-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

[Chorus]

                   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
  Let me live that fantasy

[Bridge]

D
  Oh ohh, oh ohh

C
  We're bigger than we ever dreamed

G
  And I'm in love with being queen

D
  Oh ohh, oh ohh

C
  Life is great without a care

          G
We aren't caught up in your love affair

[Chorus]

                   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
