[N]
[F] It was so nice throwing big parties Jumping to the pool from the balcony
Everyone's swimming in a champagne sea And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat, battle in the [Am]
[F] chandelier Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[Bb] Why'd you have to rain on [C] my parade?
I'm shaking [Gm] my head, unlocking [C] the gates
This is [F] why we can't have nice [Dm] things
[Bb] are [C] there
[F] Because you break them, I had to take [Bb] them away
[C] This is why we can't [F] have nice things [Bb]
are [C] there
Did [F] you think I wouldn't hear [Dm] all the things you said [Bb] about [C] me?
This is why we can't have [Bb] nice things
[Ab]
[F] It was so nice being friends again Though I was giving you a second chance
But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my head
And therein lies the issue, friends don't try to trick you
Get you on the phone in mind, who's here?
And so I took an axe to amend it fast
[Bb] I'm [Dm] not the [Gm] only [Bb] friend you've [C] lost lately If [Gm] only you weren't so
[C] shady
[Am] This is why we can't [F] have nice [Dm] things
[Bb] are [C] there
[F] Because you break them, I had to take [Bb] them away
[C] This is why we can't [F] have nice [Bb]
things are [C] there
[F] I wouldn't hear [Dm] all the things you said [Bb] about [C] me
This is why we can't [F] have
Here's a toast to my real friends They don't care about that he [Am] said, she [Fm] said
And here's to my baby He ain't reading what they call [F] me lately
And here's to my mama Had to listen [Ab] to all this [F] drama
And [Dm] here's to you [Bb] Cause forgiveness is a nice [C] thing to do
[Ab] I [C] can't even say it with a straight face
[Am] This is why we can't [F] have nice
[Dm] things [Bb]
[C] are there
[F] Because you break them, I had to take [Bb] them away
[C] This is why we [F]
[Dm] can't have [Bb] nice things [C] are there
[F]
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
[C] [F] This is why we can't have
[Bb] And here's to [C] my girls
[F]
They didn't care [C] about that he said, she [F] said
But did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me?
[Bb]
[C] Nice
