verse 1
N.C.
Whooooooo
F
It was so nice throwing big parties
F
Jump into the pool from the balcony
F ( Bb )
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 ( Bb )
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
F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling
F
Because you break them
Dm Bb
I had to take them awaayayayay
C F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
F Dm Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeEeEeeEeEe?
C -stop
This is why we can't have nice things
pitch bend
whooooooo
verse 2
F
It was so nice being friends again
F
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
Gm C
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
Gm C
If only you weren't so shady
F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling
F
Because you break them
Dm Bb
I had to take them awaayayayay
C F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
F Dm Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeEeEeeEeEe?
C
This is why we can't have-

F
Here's a toast to my real friends
Bb C
They don't care about that he-said-she-said

Bb C
Had to listen to all this drama

N.C.
"Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face"

This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling (darling)
