Royals Acoustic chords by Lorde

Submitted to GTE by: London

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

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

             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


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


              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


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
             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
