View chords used in this chart
Hi guys! so I know that this song isn't by Ed, it's just a cover he did of Royals, originally by lorde,
(you can watch it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnFsq1Jx-yQ&index=5&list=WL)
but I really liked it so i thought I'd put it on here for anyone who wanted it. Now, i know it's not 100%
correct, but it's the best i could do, so you can comment and mistakes there are and I'll fix it right
up. Enjoy!

Intro: F#m A E (Bm) F#m A E
F#m A Aadd9
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
F#m A E
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
F#m A E
And I'm not proud of my address,
F#m A E
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy
F#m A
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
E
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
F#m A E
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
F#m A
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
E
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
F#m A E
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,
Aadd9
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
F#m
We crave a different kind of buzz.
A
Let me be your ruler,
You can call me queen Bee
Aadd9
And baby I'll rule,
A*
Let me live that fantasy.
F#m A E F#m A E
F#m A Aadd9
My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
F#m A Aadd9
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
F#m A Aadd9
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
F#m A Aadd9
We didn't come from money.
F#m A
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Aadd9
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
F#m A Aadd9
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
F#m A
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
