I play the verses with barre chords and the chorus with straight chords, but it 
doesn't really matter.
[Verse 1] 
A
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
            G                         D
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
                   A                           G
And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
             D
No postcode envy
[Pre-Chorus] 
A
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
G                                           D
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
                                A
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
G                                      D
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
                 G
That kind of lux just ain't for us
                 D
We crave a different kind of buzz
                      A
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
                  G
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
D                  A
Let me live that fantasy
[Verse 2]  
A
My friends and I we've cracked the code
                  G                     D
We count our dollars on the train to the party
              A                                      G
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
                    D
We didn't come from money
[Pre-Chorus] 
A
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
G                                           D
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
                                A
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
G                                      D
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
                 G
That kind of lux just ain't for us
                 D
We crave a different kind of buzz
                      A
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
                  G
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
D                 A
Let me live that fantasy
[Bridge]
A
oh ooh oh ohh
         G
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
               D
And I'm in love with being queen (king)
A
oh ooh oh ohh
G
Life's a game without a care
              D
We aren't caught up in your love affair
[Chorus]
                          A
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
                 G
That kind of lux just ain't for us
                 D
We crave a different kind of buzz
                      A
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
                  G
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
D                            A
Let me live that fantasy
