Taylor Swift - This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

[Verse 1 :]
Whoooo
F
It was so nice throwing big parties
F
Jump into the pool from the balcony
F
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
Bb
( whooo )
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

[CHORUS 1]==
F Dm
| This is why we can’t have nice things,
Bb C
dar – ling
F
Because you break them
Dm Bb
I had to take them awaayayayay
C F Dm
This is why we can’t have nice things,
Bb C
ho – ney
F Dm
Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things
Bb
you said about meeEeEeeEeEe?
C
This is why we can’t have nice things
whoooo

[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

[CHORUS 2]==
F Dm
This is why we can’t have nice things,
Bb C
dar – ling
F
Because you break them
Dm Bb
I had to take them awaayayayay
C F Dm
This is why we can’t have nice things,
Bb C
ho – ney
F Dm
Did you think I wouldn’t hear all the things
Bb
you said about meeEeEeeEeEe?
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
And here’s to my momma
Bb C
Had to listen to all this drama
F Dm
And here’s to you
Bb C
Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do

“Haha, I can’t even say it with a straight face”

[CHORUS 3]==
