Royals - Lorde

 

Royals - Lorde [Verse]
                   D 1-2-3-4           D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
         D                              D
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
            D                       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
 D
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
 D
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         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        D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
              C                               G
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
                        D     D
  Let me live that fantasy
 
 
[Verse]
               D                       D
My friends and I, we've cracked the code
             D                            D
We count our dollars on the train to the party
         D                         D
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
                    D
We didn't come from money
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                       D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
 D
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
 D
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          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         D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
              C                                 G
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
                        D    D
  Let me live that fantasy
 
 
[Bridge]
 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
 
 
[Chorus]
