F
It was so nice throwing big parties

Jump into the pool from the balcony
F                                    A#
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea  (whooooo)
F
And there are no rules when you show up here
F
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
F                                    A#
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

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

It was so nice being friends again

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


Pre-Chorus:
        Gm                                 C
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately

If only you weren't so shady

F                Dm7
And here's to my baby
A#                        C

It isn't hate, it's just indifference
Bb    C                                      N.C.
