D MajorD   A augmentedA  D MajorD


Verse:
 D MajorD
God came down to Earth
        G+G    D MajorD
To enjoy what She'd created
    D MajorD
Took a fishing trip to Georgia
            A augmentedA
To see what She could see
   D MajorD
Cast out a holy line
        G+G    D MajorD
Thought She'd hooked a big one
    D MajorD   G+G  D MajorD
Reeled in a oil barrel
      A augmentedA   D MajorD
And said, "Oh my me!"
Chorus:
     D MajorD     G+G        D MajorD
This is why your whole world is on fire
     D MajorD                  A augmentedA
This is why you can't drink from your own springs
     D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD  F# minorF#m  G+G
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
     D MajorD        A augmentedA      D MajorD
This is why y'all can't have nice things

Interlude:
D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD


Verse:
    D MajorD
So She walked back to the highway

Flagged down a passing stranger

An old man with a kind streak
          A augmentedA
Who offered Her a toke
   D MajorD
Just as She was partakin'
         G+G    D MajorD
The blue lights started flashing
     D MajorD     G+G     D MajorD
As they slipped the handcuffs on Her
A augmentedA       D MajorD
She thought this must be a joke

Chorus:
     D MajorD       G+G          D MajorD
This is why y'all are all strung out to Christmas
     D MajorD            A augmentedA
This is why I left you all them seeds
     D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD  F# minorF#m  G+G
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
     D MajorD        A augmentedA     D MajorD
This is why y'all can't have nice things

Verse:
     D MajorD
So She walked out of the jail

With a rap sheet and no money

Went lookin' for a coffee
            A augmentedA
And passed by an angry mob
      D MajorD
They were yelling about people
          G+G   D MajorD
Who should suffer pain eternal
   D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD
She asked one for a dollar
         A augmentedA       D MajorD
And they said, "Sinner, get a job"

Chorus:
     D MajorD          G+G         D MajorD
This is why (This is why) I blessed you with compassion
     D MajorD                A augmentedA
This is why (This is why) I gave you empathy
     D MajorD          G+G         D MajorD
This is why (This is why) I said to love your neighbor
     D MajorD                   A augmentedA
This is why (This is why) pills don't grow on trees
D MajorD          G+G        D MajorD
This is why (This is why) I gave you all salvation
     D MajorD                  A augmentedA
This is why (This is why) angels lose their wings
     D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD  F# minorF#m  G+G
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
     D MajorD        A augmentedA     D MajorD  F# minorF#m G+G
This is why y'all can't have nice things
       D MajorD        A augmentedA     D MajorD  D MajorD
Oh, this is why y'all can't have nice things
