Verse 1

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


Chorus

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

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

Verse 2

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


Chorus

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


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


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

About this song: Royals

"lately i've been waking up at 4 or 5 a.m., turning things over in my head. so much to think about, so much to break down and process and decide. i'm only at the beginning, but it has always been important to me that everything feels cool, feels right. this song means a hell of a lot to me, and to others, and i guess what i tried to do is make something you could understand. a lot of people think teenagers live in this world like 'skins' every weekend or whatever, but truth is, half the time we aren't doing anything cooler than playing with lighters, or waiting at some shitty stop.
