D
It was so nice throwing big parties
D
Jump into the pool from the balcony
D G
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea (whooooo)
D
And there are no rules when you show up here
D
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
D G
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
Em A
I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling
D
Because you break them
Bm G
I had to take them awaayayayay
A D Bm G A
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
D Bm G
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeEeEeeEeEe?
A N.C.
This is why we can't have nice things

[Verse 2]
D
It was so nice being friends again
D
There I was, giving you a second chance
D G
But then you stabbed in the back while shaking my hand
D
And therein lies the issue
D
Friends don't try to trick you
D
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
D G
And so I took an axe to a mended fence
[Pre-Chorus]
Em A
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
Em A
If only you weren't so shady
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling
D
Because you break them
Bm G
I had to take them awaayayayay
A D Bm G A
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
D Bm G
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeEeEeeEeEe?
A
This is why we can't have-

D Bm7
Here's a toast to my real friends
G A
They don't care about that he-said-she-said
D Bm7
And here's to my baby
G A
He ain't reading what they call me lately
D Bm7
And here's to my momma
G A
Had to listen to all this drama
D Bm
And here's to you
G A
Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
N.C.
"Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face"
[Chorus]
D Bm G A
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling (darling)
D
Because you break them

I had to take them away
A D Bm G A
This is why we can't have nice (ah-ah) things,(oh-no) hon(baby)-ney
