Chords

N.C. then F [Verse 1]
 F
It was so nice throwing big parties

 F
Jump into the pool from the balcony

 F
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

 F
And there are no rules when you show up here

 F
Bass beat rattling the chandelier

 F
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[Pre-Chorus]
     Bm                         C
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

      Bm                           C
I'm shaking my head and locking the gates
[Chorus]
  N.C.                     F   Dm      Bb    C
This is why we can't have nice things, darling

 F
Because you break them

 Dm                 Bb
I had to take them away

C                          F   Dm      Bb  C
This is why we can't have nice things, honey (Oh)

F                          Dm                              Bb

C                           F*
This is why we can't have nice things
[Verse 2]
  F
It was so nice being friends again

  F
There I was, giving you a second chance

  F
But you stabbed me 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]
   Bm                                    C
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately (Mm-mm)

   Bm                    C
If only you weren't so shady
[Chorus]

I had to take them away

 C
This is why we can't have

F                     Dm
Here's a toast to my real friends

 Bb                       C
They don't care about the he-said, she-said

F                 Dm
And here's to my baby

 Bb                        C
He ain't reading what they call me lately

Had to listen to all this drama

And here's to you

         Bb*                       C*
