Bruce's awesome cover of Lorde's song "Royals". I'll be using the live debut from
Auckland, NZ that is on Bruce's YT page. With Bruce's lyric changes as well.

G D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
C G
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
G D
And I'm not proud of my address
C G
In a torn-up town, in a torn up town
G D C G
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
G D C G
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
F C C G
I don't care, baby, you know I don't care
G D C G
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
G D C G
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
F C C G
I don't care, I'm caught up in your love affair
G D
And I'll never be royal, it don't run in our blood
F C
That kind just ain't for us.
C G
We crave a different kind of love
G D
Let me be your ruler, you can call me King Bee
F C C G G D
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
In my fantasy.

G D
My friends and I—we've cracked the code
C G
We count our dollars on the train to the party
G D
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
C G
We didn't come from money
G D C G
But every fucking song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

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

I don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
G D C G
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece

We crave a different kind of buzz
