[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, Maybach, 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                                      G
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
                          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, Maybach, 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
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
