Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "Royals" dari Lorde:
D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
D
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
D
And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
No postcode envy
D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair
D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy
D
My friends and I we've cracked the code
D
We count our dollars on the train to the party
D
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
We didn't come from money
D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room
C G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C G
We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair
D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy
D
oh ooh oh Ohh
C
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
G
And I'm in love with being queen (king)
D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
Life's a game without a care
G
We aren't caught up in your love affair
D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
G
We crave a different kind of buzz
D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee
C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G D
Let me live that fantasy
