[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

C   Am   F        G            C  Am  F  G
I'm queen of sand castles he destroys

   C Am  F    G                   C Am
My boy   only breaks his favorite toys

F                  G
I had to take them away

C  Am  F    G                   C
My boy only breaks his favorite toys

Am                 F
I had to take them away

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