Tone [F]
(Verse 1)
[F]It was so nice throwing big par [C]ties
Jump into the pool from the bal [G]cony
Everyone swimming in a cham [Dm]pagne sea
[F]And there are no rules when you show up [C]here
Bass beat rattling the chande [G]lier
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole [Dm]year
[C]So why'd you have to rain on my [G]parade?
[F]I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the [G]gates
(Chorus)
This is why we can't have [C]nice things, [G]darling
[C]Because you break them, [G]I had to take them [Am]away
[F]This is why we can't have [C]nice things, [G]honey (oh)
[Dm]Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about [G]me?
[F]This is why we can't have [C]nice things
(Verse 2)
[F]It was so nice being friends a [C]gain
There I was giving you a second [G]chance
But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my [Dm]hand
[C]And therein lies the issue, friends don't try to [G]trick you
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
[C]And so I took an axe to a men [Dm]ded fence
[F]But I'm not the only friend you've lost [C]lately (mmm-mmm)
If only you [G]weren't so [F]shady
(Chorus)
This is why we can't have [C]nice things, [G]darling
[C]Because you break them, [G]I had to take them [Am]away
[F]This is why we can't have [C]nice (nice things) things (baby), [G]honey (oh)
[Dm]Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about [G]me?
[F]This is why we can't have-
(Bridge)
[C]Here's a toast to my real friends
[G]They don't care about the he said, she said
[C]And here's to my baby
[G]He ain't reading what they call me lately
[C]And here's to my mama
[G]Had to listen to all this drama
[C]And here's to [G]you
'Cause [Dm]forgiveness is a nice thing to [F]do
(Stop) Hahaha, I can't even say it with a straight face!
(Outro)
This is why we can't have [C]nice things, [G]darling (darling)
[C]Because you break them, [G]I had to take them [Am]away
[F]This is why we can't have [C]nice (uh-uh) things (oh no), [G]honey (baby, oh)
[Dm]Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about [G]me?
[G]This is why we can't have [C]nice things, [G]darling (oh)
[C]And here's to my [G]real friends
(Oh) [C]because you break them, [G]I had to take them
[C]And here's to my [G]baby
(Oh) [C]nice things, [G]honey
[F]They didn't care about the [G]he said, she said
[C]Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about [G]me?
[G]This is why we can't have (Stop) nice things
