[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G    C
I wasn’t raised in a castle
G       C
I grew up on the outskirts of town
G    C
No dresses with golden tassels
G       C
The rings on my hand are handed down
G          C
But I’m gonna find the one that needs me, see’s me
Em
And treats me like I’m already royalty
G
There ain’t nothing priceless on my wrist
C          D
I might not fly private, but that don’t mean I ain’t a queen

[Chorus]
G
Queen’s don’t hate, queen’s don’t fight
C          Em
Queen’s don’t stay unless their king treats her right, oh
(C)
Every jewel on my crown, you better believe I earned it
Em          (C)
Won’t keep people around that don’t believe I deserve it
G
No, queen’s ain’t fake
C          Em
A queen’s gonna rule just the way she was made, oh
G
I ain’t ’bout to let nobody come and take me off this throne
C       G
Some girls might, but queen’s don’t

[Verse 2]
G    C
No, I don’t need the tallest tower
G    C
To prove to anyone I ain’t weak
G    C
I turn my pain into power
D
Every tear’s a diamond on my cheek

[Chorus]
G
Queen’s don’t hate, queen’s don’t fight
C          Em
Queen’s don’t stay unless their king treats her right, oh
(C)
Every jewel on my crown, you better believe I earned it
Em          (C)
Won’t keep people around that don’t believe I deserve it
G
No, queen’s ain’t fake
C       Em
A queen’s gonna rule just the way she was made, oh
G
I ain’t ’bout to let nobody come and take me off this throne
C       G
Some girls might, but queen’s don’t

[Solo]
G Em G Em

[Bridge]

Queens dont break, they just get stronger

There ain’t nothing they can’t conquer
