This Is Why We Cant Have Nice Things Cifras

[Intro]
D D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 D
It was so nice throwing big parties
 
Jump into the pool from the balcony
 
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
  D
And there are no rules when you show up here
 
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
 
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     G*                         A*
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?
     G*                         A*
I'm shaking my head and locking the gates
 
 
[Chorus]
                          D     Em
This is why we can't have nice things,
G   A
darling
 D
Because you break them
 Em                 G A
I had to take them away
                          D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things,
G  A
honey (Oh)
 D                         Em
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the
                     G
things you said about me?
 A                             D*
This is why we can't have nice things
 
 
[Verse 2]
   D
It was so nice being friends again
 
There I was, giving you a second chance
 
But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand
  D
And therein lies the issue
 
Friends don't try to trick you
 
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
 
And so I took an axe to a mended fence
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          G*
But I'm not the only friend you've lost
A*
lately (Mm-mm)
    G*                 A*
If only you weren't so shady
 
 
[Chorus]
                           D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things,
G    A
darling (Yeah)
   D
Because you break them
   Em               G
I had to take them away
 A                         D
This is why we can't have nice (Nice
          Em          G  A
things) things (Baby), honey
  D                        Em
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the
                      G
things you said about me?
        A
This is why we can't have
 
 
[Bridge]
   D                    Em
Here's a toast to my real friends
   G                       A
They don't care about the he-said, she-said
    D             Em
And here's to my baby
  G                              A
He ain't reading what they call me lately
    D            Em
And here's to my mama
     G                    A
Had to listen to all this drama
   D           Em
And here's to you
       G*                            A*
'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do
 
Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face
 
 
[Chorus]
                           D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things,
G    A
darling (Darling)
  D
Because you break them
   Em               G A
I had to take them away
                           D
This is why we can't have nice (Uh-uh)
Em              G A
things (Oh no), honey (Baby, oh)
  D                            Em
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the
                     G A
things you said about me?
                          D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things,
G A
darling
 
(And here's to my real friends)
D
Because you break them
Em
I had to take them
 
(And here's to my baby)
  G       A
Nice things, honey
 
(He didn't care about that he-said, she-said)
  D                          Em
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the
                     G A
things you said about me?
                           D    Em
This is why we can't have nice things
