Intro:

C   G

Verse 1:
N.C.           F
Oh, here we go again
                  Am
The voices in his head
                   G               Am
Called the rain to end our days of wild
                 F
The sickest army doll
                 Am
Purchased at the mall
            G               Am
Rivulets descend my plastic smile

Pre-Chorus:
C                                  G
But you should've seen him when he first got me

Chorus:
F      C                        G     Am
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh
F         C                      G     Am
I'm queen of sand castles he destroys, oh, oh
F                        C
'Cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night
G                                          Am
I should've known it was a matter of time, oh, oh
F      C                        G
My boy only breaks his favorite toys

G                         C
This is why we can't have nice things

Verse 1:
C
It was so nice throwin' big parties
C
Jump into the pool from the balcony
C                          F
Everyone swimmin' in a champagne sea
C
And there are no rules when you show up here
C
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
C
Feelin' so Gatsby for that whole year

Pre-Chorus:
F                               G
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
               F                    G
I'm shaking my head and locking the gates

Chorus:
                          C    Am      F  G
This is why we can't have nice things, darlin'
C                       Am                 F
Because you break them, I had to take them away
G                         C    Am      F G
This is why we can't have nice things, honey (Oh)
C                             Am                            F
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
G                         C             Am
This is why we can't have nice things
F                     G
'Cause you break them
C  Am  F    G                   C
My boy only breaks his favorite toys
Am                 F G
I had to take them away

Bridge:
    C                  G
But just say when, I'd play again
       F              Am          G
He was my best friend down at the sandlot
  C                 G
I felt more when we played pretend
          F
Than with all the Kens
       Am             G     C
'Cause he took me out of my box
G                 Am
Stole my tortured heart
G                     C
Left all these broken parts
Am                 G
Told me I'm better off
    C
But I'm not

Bridge:
G         C             Am
So here's a toast to my real friends
F                          G
They didn't care about the he-said, she-said
C                Am
And here's to my baby
F                          G
He ain't readin' what they call me lately
C                Am
And here's to my mama
F                G
Had to listen to all this drama
    C         Am
And here's to you
       F                              G
'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
N.C.
Haha

Chorus:
                          C    Am      F  G
This is why we can't have nice things, darlin'
C                       Am                 F
Because you break them, I had to take them away
G                         C    Am      F G
This is why we can't have nice things, honey (Oh)
C                             Am                            F    G
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?

My boy only breaks his favorite toys, oh

I'm queen of sand castles he destroys

My boy   only breaks his favorite toys
F                  G
I had to take them away
