F#m A Aadd9

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

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

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 A

But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.

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]

And we'll never be royals.

That kind of luxe just ain't for us.

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,

F#m A Aadd9

We didn't come from money.
