[Verse 1]
F F Bb Bb
It was so nice throwing big parties
F F
Jump into the pool from the balcony
Bb Bb
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
F F Bb Bb
And there are no rules when you show up here
F F
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Bb Bb
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb Bb C C
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
Dm Dm Bb Bb C C
I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates

[Chorus]
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C F F
This is why we can't have nice things, darling
Dm Dm
Because you break them
Bb Bb
I had to take them away
C C F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
C C
This is why we can't have nice things

[Verse 2]
F F Bb Bb
It was so nice being friends again
F F
There I was, giving you a second chance
Bb Bb
But then you stabbed in the back while shaking my hand
F F
And therein lies the issue
Bb Bb
Friends don't try to trick you
F F
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
Bb Bb
And so I took an axe to a mended fence

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb Bb C C
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
Dm Dm Bb Bb C C
If only you weren't so shady

[Chorus]
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C F F
This is why we can't have nice things, darling
Dm Dm
Because you break them
Bb Bb
I had to take them away
C C F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
C C
This is why we can't have

[Bridge]
F F Bb Bb
Here's a toast to my real friends
F F
They don't care about that he-said-she-said
Bb Bb
And here's to my baby
F F
He ain't reading what they call me lately
Bb Bb
And here's to my momma

Had to listen to all this drama
F F Dm Dm
And here's to you
Bb Bb C C
'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
N.C
Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face

[Chorus]
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C F F
This is why we can't have nice things, darling (darling)
Dm Dm
Because you break them
Bb Bb
I had to take them away
C C F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
F F D D Bb Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
C C F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C F F
This is why we can't have nice things, darling (And here's to my real friends)
Dm Dm
Because you break them
Bb Bb
I had to take them away
C C F F
And here's to my baby
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb C C
Nice things, ho-ney

(He didn't care about that he-said-she-said)
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
C C
This is why we can't have nice things
