Whooooooo 
D 
It was so nice throwing big parties 
D 
Jump into the pool from the balcony 
D                                    G 
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea  (whooooo) 
D 
And there are no rules when you show up here 
D 
Bass beat rattling the chandelier 
D                                    G 
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[Pre-Refrain]
   Em                           A 
So why'd you have to rain on my parade? 
               Em                    A 
I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates
[Refrain]
                          D    Bm      G  A 
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling 
D 
Because you break them 
 Bm                G 
I had to take them awaayayayay 
A                         D    Bm      G A 
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney 
D                             Bm                            G 
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeEeEeeEeEe? 
A                         N.C. 
This is why we can't have nice things

D 
It was so nice being friends again 
D 
There I was, giving you a second chance 
D                                                     G 
But then you stabbed in the back while shaking my hand 
D 
And therein lies the issue 
D 
Friends don't try to trick you 
D 
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you 
D                                       G 
And so I took an axe to a mended fence
[Pre-Refrain]
        Em                                 A 
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately 
   Em                  A 
If only you weren't so shady

D                    Bm7 
Here's a toast to my real friends 
G                         A 
They don't care about that he-said-she-said 
D                Bm7 
And here's to my baby 
G                         A 
He ain't reading what they call me lately 
D                Bm7 
And here's to my momma 
G               A 
Had to listen to all this drama 
    D         Bm 
And here's to you 
      G                             A 
Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
