[Intro] D D [Verse 1]
 D
It was so nice throwing big parties
Jump into the pool from the balcony Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
  D
And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year [Pre-Chorus]
     G*                         A*
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

     G*                         A*
I'm shaking my head and locking the gates
[Chorus]
                          D     Em
This is why we can't have nice things,

G   A
darling

 D
Because you break them

 Em                 G A
I had to take them away

                          D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things,

G  A
honey (Oh)

 D                         Em
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the

                     G
things you said about me?

 A                             D*
This is why we can't have nice things
[Verse 2]
   D
It was so nice being friends again
There I was, giving you a second chance But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand
  D
And therein lies the issue
Friends don't try to trick you Get you on the phone and mind-twist you And so I took an axe to a mended fence [Pre-Chorus]
          G*
But I'm not the only friend you've lost

A*
lately (Mm-mm)

    G*                 A*
If only you weren't so shady
[Chorus]
                           D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things,

G    A
darling (Yeah)

   D
Because you break them

   Em               G
I had to take them away

 A                         D
This is why we can't have nice (Nice

          Em          G  A
things) things (Baby), honey

  D                        Em
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the

                      G
things you said about me?

        A
This is why we can't have
[Bridge]
   D                    Em
Here's a toast to my real friends

   G                       A
They don't care about the he-said, she-said

    D             Em
And here's to my baby

  G                              A
He ain't reading what they call me lately

    D            Em
And here's to my mama

     G                    A
Had to listen to all this drama

   D           Em
And here's to you

       G*                            A*
'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face [Chorus]
                           D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things,

G    A
darling (Darling)

  D
Because you break them

   Em               G A
I had to take them away

                           D
This is why we can't have nice (Uh-uh)

Em              G A
things (Oh no), honey (Baby, oh)

  D                            Em
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the

                     G A
things you said about me?
