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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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