Whooooooo
FF
It was so nice throwing big parties
FF
Jump into the pool from the balcony
FF                 (Bb majorBb)
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea (whooooo)
FF
And there are no rules when you show up here
FF
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
FF                 (Bb majorBb)
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

Pre-Chorus:
  G minorGm              C majorC
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

There I was, giving you a second chance
FF                          (Bb majorBb)
But then you stabbed in the back while shaking my hand
FF
And therein lies the issue
FF
Friends don't try to trick you
FF
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
FF
And so I took an axe to a mended fence

Pre-Chorus:
    G minorGm                 C majorC
