Whooooooo
F
It was so nice throwing big parties

Jump into the pool from the balcony

Everyone swimming in a champagne sea  (whooooo)

And there are no rules when you show up here
F
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
F                                  (Bb)
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates

                          F    Dm      Bb  C

I had to take them awaayayayay

It was so nice being friends again

There I was, giving you a second chance
F                                                   (Bb)
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
And so I took an axe to a mended fence


Pre-Chorus:
