Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Iʼve never seen a diamond in the flesh
        C                         G
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
             D                                C
And Iʼm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
              G
No postcode envy

D
But every songʼs like: gold teeth, grey goose,
trippinʼ in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns (tuxedos), trashinʼ the hotel room
C                             G
We donʼt care - weʼre driving Cadillacs in our dreams
                      D
But everybodyʼs like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C                          G
We donʼt care - we  arenʼt caught up in your love affair

                  D
And weʼll never be royals - It donʼt run in our blood
           C
That kind of lux just ainʼt for us
           G
We crave a different kind of buzz
               D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
            C
And baby Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule
G
Let me live that fantasy

D
My friends and I weʼve cracked the code
            C                      G
We count our dollars on the train to the party
         D                                        C
And everyone who knows us knows that weʼre fine with this
                   G
We didnʼt come from money

D
But every songʼs like: gold teeth, grey goose,
trippinʼ in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns (tuxedos), trashinʼ the hotel room
C                             G
We donʼt care - weʼre driving Cadillacs in our dreams
                      D
But everybodyʼs like Cristal, Mayback,
diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C                          G
We donʼt care - we  arenʼt caught up in your love affair

                  D
And weʼll never be royals - It donʼt run in our blood
           C
That kind of lux just ainʼt for us
           G
We crave a different kind of buzz
               D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
            C
And baby Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule
G                   D
Let me live that fantasy

D
oh ooh oh ohh
      C
Weʼre bigger than we ever dreamed
          G
And Iʼm in love with being queen (king)
D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
Lifeʼs a game without a care
         G
We arenʼt caught up in your love affair
                  D
And weʼll never be royals - It donʼt run in our blood
           C
That kind of lux just ainʼt for us
           G
We crave a different kind of buzz
               D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
            C
And baby Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule, Iʼll rule
G                   D
Let me live that fantasy
