Bb     F          C
We are never ever ever getting back together
Bb     F          C
We are never ever ever getting back together
Bb                F                 C                   Dm
You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me
    Bb     F          C
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

F Dm  Bb           C
Oh,   here's to my real friends
F Dm  Bb               C
Oh,   and here's to my baby
F Dm  Bb                         C
Oh,   they don't care about that he said, she said
F Dm  Bb           C                  F
We are never ever ever getting back together

F
It was so nice throwing big parties
F
Jumping in the pool from the balcony
F
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

F
And there are no rules when you show up here
F
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
F
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

Gm                                CNec
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
               Gm
I'm shaking my head
                 C
I'm locking the gates

                          F    Dm      Bb  C
This is why we can't have nice things, darling
F
Because you break them
Dm                 Bb
I had to take them away
C                         F    Dm      Bb  C
This is why we can't have 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
F
There I was giving you a second chance
F
But then you stabbed my back
F
While shaking my hand

F
And therein lies the issue
F
Friends don't try to trick you
F
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
F
And so I took an ax to a mended fence

Gm                                           C
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
            Gm
If only you weren't
       C
So shady

                          F    Dm      Bb  C

F                    Dm
Here'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
N.C.
Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face

                          F    Dm      Bb  C
