There are different ways to play this song. Some people only play the chorus and not the verses. Another way is to strum the D only for the verses. I played that way, but I prefer this way better. Verse 1

^DI've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my tee^Cth on wedding rings in the^G movies And I'm not proud o^Df my address - in the torn u^Cp town No postcode e^Gnvy

Chorus

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

And we'll never be royals ^D- It don't run in our blood That kind of lux ^Cjust ain't for us We crave a differ^Gent kind of buzz Let me be your ruler -^D you can call me Queen Bee And baby I'll rule^C, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule ^GLet me live that fa^Dntasy

Verse 2

^DMy friends and I we've cracked the code We count our dolla^Crs on the train to the^G party And everyone w^Dho knows us knows that we're fine with ^Cthis We didn't come from ^Gmoney

Chorus

And we'll never be royals -^D It don't run in our blood That kind of lux ^Cjust ain't for us We crave a differ^Gent kind of buzz Let me be your ruler -^D you can call me Queen Bee And baby I'll rule^C, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule ^GLet me live that f^Dantasy

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