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- 


Bridge 
F 
Here's a toast to my real friends 
Bb                         C 
They don't care about that he-said-she-said 
F 
And here's to my baby 
Bb                         C 
He ain't reading what they call me lately 
F

Bb               C

    F         Dm 
And here's to you 
      Bb                             C

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

C                         F            Dm             Bb        C

F                             Dm                            Bb

C                         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 and here's to my baby 
C                         F    Dm      Bb  C
