This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

F
It was so nice throwing big parties

Jump into the pool from the balcony

Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

And there are no rules when you show up here

Bass beat rattling the chandelier

Feeling so gatsby for that whole year

    Bb                            C
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

                Gm                    C
I'm shaking my head. i'm locking the gates

* this is why we can't have
 F    Dm     Bb    C
Nice things, darling

 F
Because you break them

   Dm               Bb
I had to take them away

 C
This is why we can't have

  F    Dm    Bb  C
Nice things, honey

 F
Did you think i wouldn't hear

Dm                            Bb
All the things you said about me?

 C
This is why we can't have nice things

 F
It was so nice being friends again

There i was, giving you a second chance

But then you stabbed in the back

While shaking my hand

And therein lies the issue

Friends don't try to trick you

Get you on the phone and mind-twist you

And so i took an axe to a mended fence

        Bb                                C
But i'm not the only friend you've lost lately

             Gm         C
If only you weren't so shady

  F                   Dm
Hers's a toast to my real friends

 Bb                        C
They don't care about that he-said-she-said

F                Dm
And here's to my baby

 Bb                         C
He ain't reading what they call me lately

 F                 Dm
And here's to my momma

Bb                    C
Had to listen to all this drama

      F        Dm
And here's to you

            Bb                         C
'cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do

Haha, i can't even say it with a straight face
