Lorde Ruler: Sad Clown With The Golden Voice" Version


                  Bb            Bbsus2/F ,  Bb, Bbsus2/F
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

          Bb            Bbsus2/F ,      Bb, Bbsus2/F
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

             Bb         Bbsus2/F
And I'm not proud of my address,

             Bb    Bbsus2/F       Bb, Bbsus2/F
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

                                Bb (arpeggiated) 
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

                                Bb (arpeggiated)
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,

       Ab               Eb              Ebm    
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
                         Bb(arpeggiated)
But everybody's like Cristal*, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
                          Bb (arpeggiated)
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
     Ab                  Eb                     Ebm    
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

                                Bb
And we'll never be royals (royals).
          Dm
It don't run in our blood,
               Ab
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
            Eb                    Ebm
We crave a different kind of buzz.
                Bb
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
 Dm
You can call me queen Bee
       Ab
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
                                Bb
Let me live that fantasy.

[Verse 2]
My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come for money.

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love with being queen.
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
