Don't you think that it's boring how people talk

Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored

Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it

We come around here all the time
A G
Got a lot to not do, let me kill it with you
D
You pick me up and take me home again
Head out the window again

We're hollow like the bottles that we drain

And the heating comes on
(You buy me orange juice)
D
We're getting good at this
Dreams of clean teeth
A
I can tell that you're tired
But you keep the car on
G
While you're waiting out front

You pick me up and take me home again
Head out the window again

3. ROYALS
D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy
D
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
Cadd9 G
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
D
But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
Cadd9 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,
Cadd9
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
Cadd9
And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.
G
Let me live that fantasy.
D
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 from money.
D
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
Cadd9 G
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
D
But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
Cadd9 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,
Cadd9
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
Cadd9
And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.
G
Let me live that fantasy.
D
Oooh ooooh ohhh
Cadd9 G
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen.
D Cadd9
Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh life is 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,
Cadd9
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
Cadd9
And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.
G D
Let me live that fantasy.

6.TEAM
Capo on 6
(if you sing this part acapella, strum a C chord before starting to get familiar with
your starting note)
Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness
That you’ll send
The call I'll send
C
Call all the ladies out
They’re in their finally
Am
A hundreds jewels on throats
G
A hundred jewels between teeth
C
Now bring my boys in
Their skin in craters like the moon
Am G
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
C
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Am G
Even the comatose they don’t dance and tell
[Chorus]
F Am
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
G Em Am
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
F Am G
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
F
And you know, we're on each other's team
Am G
I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there
So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn’t my fault
And everyone’s competing for a love they won't receive
'Cause what this palace wants is release
[Chorus]
F Am
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
G Em Am
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
F Am G
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
F
And you know, we're on each other's team
F Am G
I’m kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
F Am G
I’m kinda older than I was when I rebelled without a care
So there
[Chorus]
F Am
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
G Em Am
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
F Am G
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
F
And you know, we're on each other's team
F Am G
And you know, we're on each other's team
F Am
We're on each other's team
G
We're on each other's team
F
And you know, and you know, and you know
7.GLORY AND GORE
[Verse 1]
C Am
There's a humming in the restless summer air
Em G
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
C Am
But in all chaos, there is calculation
Em G
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
C Am
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Em G
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
C Am
It's clear that someone's gotta go
Em G
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am Em
And the cry goes out
G
They lose their minds for us
C Am
And how it plays out
Em
Now we're in the ring
G
And we're coming for blood
[Chorus]
C
You could try and take us
Am
But we're the gladiators
C
Everyone a rager
Am
But secretly they're saviors
C Am Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
G C
That's why we're making headlines
Am Em
You could try and take us
G
But victory's contagious
[Verse 2]
C Am
Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
Em G
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
C Am
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
Em G
We let our battles choose us
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am Em
And the cry goes out
G
They lose their minds for us
C Am
And how it plays out
Em
Now we're in the ring
G
And we're coming for blood
[Chorus]
C
You could try and take us
Am
But we're the gladiators
C
Everyone a rager
Am
But secretly they're saviors
C Am Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
G C
That's why we're making headlines
Am Em
You could try and take us
G
But victory's contagious
[Bridge]
C Am Em
No-one 'round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
C Am Em
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
C Am Em
Tired little laughs, gold lie promises, we'll always win at this
C Am
I don't ever think about death
Em G
It's alright if you do, it's fine
C Am Em
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
C Am Em
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
C Am Em
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, "Secretly you love this
Am Em
Do you even wanna go free?"
Am
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means
[Chorus]
C
You could try and take us
Am
But we're the gladiators
C
Everyone a rager
Am
But secretly they're saviors
C Am Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
G C
That's why we're making headlines
Am Em
You could try and take us
G
But victory's contagious

G
Still like hotels and my new-found fame
Am F
Hey, promise I can stay good
G

F
I'm little but I'm coming for the crown
I'm little but I'm coming for you

I'm little but I'm coming for the title

Held by everyone who's up

3. ROYALS
D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy
D
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
Cadd9 G
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
D
But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
Cadd9 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,
Cadd9
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
Cadd9
And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.
G
Let me live that fantasy.
D
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 from money.
D
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
Cadd9 G
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.

But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.

6.TEAM
Capo on 6
(if you sing this part acapella, strum a C chord before starting to get familiar with
your starting note)
Wait 'til you're announced
We've not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness
That you’ll send
The call I'll send
C
Call all the ladies out
They’re in their finally
Am
A hundreds jewels on throats
G
A hundred jewels between teeth
C
Now bring my boys in
Their skin in craters like the moon
Am G
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
C
Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Am G
Even the comatose they don’t dance and tell
[Chorus]
F Am
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
G Em Am
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
F Am G
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
F
And you know, we're on each other's team
Am G
I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there
So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn’t my fault
And everyone’s competing for a love they won't receive
'Cause what this palace wants is release
[Chorus]
F Am
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
G Em Am
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
F Am G
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
F
And you know, we're on each other's team
F Am G
I’m kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
F Am G
I’m kinda older than I was when I rebelled without a care
So there
[Chorus]
F Am
We live in cities you'll never see on screen
G Em Am
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
F Am G
Living in ruins of the palace within my dreams
F
And you know, we're on each other's team
F Am G
And you know, we're on each other's team
F Am
We're on each other's team

7.GLORY AND GORE
[Verse 1]
C Am
There's a humming in the restless summer air
Em G
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
C Am
But in all chaos, there is calculation
Em G
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
C Am
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Em G
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
C Am
It's clear that someone's gotta go
Em G
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am Em
And the cry goes out
G
They lose their minds for us
C Am
And how it plays out
Em
Now we're in the ring
G
And we're coming for blood
[Chorus]
C
You could try and take us
Am
But we're the gladiators
C
Everyone a rager
Am
But secretly they're saviors
C Am Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
G C
That's why we're making headlines
Am Em
You could try and take us
G
But victory's contagious
[Verse 2]
C Am
Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
Em G
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
C Am
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
Em G
We let our battles choose us
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am Em
And the cry goes out
G
They lose their minds for us
C Am
And how it plays out
Em
Now we're in the ring
G
And we're coming for blood
[Chorus]
C
You could try and take us
Am
But we're the gladiators
C
Everyone a rager
Am
But secretly they're saviors
C Am Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
G C
That's why we're making headlines
Am Em
You could try and take us
G
But victory's contagious
[Bridge]
C Am Em
No-one 'round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
C Am Em
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
C Am Em
Tired little laughs, gold lie promises, we'll always win at this
C Am
I don't ever think about death
Em G
It's alright if you do, it's fine
C Am Em
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
C Am Em
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
C Am Em
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, "Secretly you love this
Am Em
Do you even wanna go free?"
Am
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means
[Chorus]
C
You could try and take us
Am
But we're the gladiators
C
Everyone a rager
Am
But secretly they're saviors
C Am Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
G C
That's why we're making headlines
Am Em
You could try and take us
G
But victory's contagious
