This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
By Taylor Swift

Standard Tuning
No Capo

[Verse 1]
N.C.
Whooooooo
F
It was so nice throwing big parties
F
Jump into the pool from the balcony
F ( Bb )
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea (whooooo)
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]
F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling
F
Because you break them
Dm Bb
I had to take them awaayayayay
C F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, ho-ney
F Dm Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeEeEeeEeEe?
C N.C.
This is why we can't have nice things

[pitch bend]
whooooooo

[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

[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
N.C.
"Haha, I can't even say it with a straight face"

[Chorus]
F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling (darling)
F
Because you break them
Dm Bb
I had to take them away
C F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice (ah-ah) things,(oh-no) hon(baby)-ney
F Dm Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeeee?
C F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling
(And here's to my real friends)
F
Because you break them
Dm Bb
I had to take them and here's to my baby
C F Dm Bb C
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling
(They didn't care about that he-said-she-said)
F Dm Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about meeeee?
C
This is why we can't have

F
