Verse #1

D I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

2 2 2 2 2 5 5 4 4 2

D I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

2 2 2 5 5 4 4 2 1 1 2 1 7.

D And I'm not proud of my address,

2 2 2 5 5 4 4 2

D in the torn up town. No post code envy

5 5 5 1' 7 5 5 1' 7 6 5

Chorus

D But every song's like

5 5 6 7 5

D gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

2 2 5 5 7 7 7 5 3

D Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,

2 2 5 5 7 7 7 5 3

C We don't care, we're driving G cadillacs in our dreams.

4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 3

G But everybody's like

5 5 6 7 6 5

D cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.

2 2 5 5 7 7 7 5 3

D Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.

2 2 5 5 7 7 7 5 3

C We don't care, we aren't G caught up in your love affair.

4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 3

And we'll never be D royals (royals). It don't run in our blood,

5 5 7 7 1' 2' 7 (2' 7) 7 7 7 7 1' 2'

That kind of C lux just ain't for us. We crave a G diffrnt kind of buzz.

Let me be your D ruler (ruler), you can call me queen bee

And baby C I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.

2' 2' 2' 1'

G Let me live that fantasy.

2 2 2 5 5 4 4 2

D We count our dollars on the train to the party.

2 2 2 5 5 4 4 2 1 1 2 1 7.

D And everyone who knows us knows

2 2 2 5 5 5 7 7 6 5

We aren't G caught up in your love affair.
