                   F#m             A  E
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
          F#m              A            E
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
             F#m            A   E
And I'm not proud of my address,
              F#m  A           E
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

                       F#m
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose,
  A
trippin' in the bathroom
  E
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
F#m           A               E
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
                       F#m
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach,
 A
diamonds on your timepiece.
 E
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
F#m           A           E
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

Chorus:
                    A
And we'll never be royals.
It don't run in our blood,
              E
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
            F#m
We crave a different kind of buzz.

                 A
Let me be your ruler,
You can call me queen Bee
               E
And baby I'll rule,
D
Let me live that fantasy.

My friends and I—we’ve cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that
we’re fine with this,
We didn’t come from money, no no

But every song’s like gold teeth,
grey goose, trippin’ in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room,
We don’t care, we’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
And like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don’t care, we aren’t caught up
in your love affair

Chorus

Oh I’ll never be royal
It don’t run in my blood
That kind of luxe just ain’t for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I’ll rule,
Let me live that fantasy.
