I’ve nev er seen a (CN.C.)dia mond in the flesh

I cut my teeth dol lars on wed on ding the rings train in the mov ies and I’m not proud of my ad dress, knows

that in we’re the torn fine up with town, this,

we no did n’t post come code from en vy.

But ev ’ry song’s like (D)gold teeth, Grey Goose, trip pin’ in the bath room.

Blood stains, ball gowns, trash in’ the ho tel room, (C)we don’t care,

we’re driv ing (G)Ca dil lacs in our dreams.

But ev ’ry bod y’s like (D)Cris tal, May bach, dia monds on your time piece.

Jet planes, is lands, ti gers on a gold leash.

(C)We don’t care,

we aren’t (G)caught up in your love af fair.

And we’ll nev er be (D)ro yals (Ro yals.) it don’t run in our blood.

That kind of (C)luxe just ain’t for us.

We crave a (G)dif f’rent kind of buzz.

Let me be your (D)ru ler.

My friends and (CN.C.)I, we’ve cracked the code.

We count our teeth dol lars on wed on ding the rings train to the par ty.

And ev ’ry one who knows us dress, knows

that in we’re the torn fine up with town, this,

we no did n’t post come code from mon ey.

But ev ’ry song’s like (D)gold teeth, Grey Goose, trip pin’ in the bath room.

Blood stains, ball gowns, trash in’ the ho tel room, (C)we don’t care,

we’re driv ing (G)Ca dil lacs in our dreams.

But ev ’ry bod y’s like (D)Cris tal, May bach, dia monds on your time piece.

Jet planes, is lands, ti gers on a gold leash.

(C)We don’t care,

we aren’t (G)caught up in your love af fair.

And we’ll nev er be (D)ro yals (Ro yals.) it don’t run in our blood.

That kind of (C)luxe just ain’t for us.

We crave a (G)dif f’rent kind of buzz.

Let me be your (D)ru ler.
