This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things Chords by Taylor Swift

[Verse]
F                                    
■ It was so nice throwing big parties
                            F      
Jump into the pool from the balcony
                       F            
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
                                        F   
And there are no rules when you show up here
                       F7        
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
                           F7        
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
Bb                              C     
So why'd you have to rain on my parade
            Gm                      C7   
I'm shaking my head I'm locking the gates


[Chorus]
                          F    F7 F      Bb7     C7
This is why we can't have nice ■  things darling ■ 
F                      Dm                 Bb  
Because you break them I had to take them away
C7                        F    D7     Bb Bb7 C7      
This is why we can't have nice things ■  ■   ■  honey
F                        Dm                                 Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me
C                                    
This is why we can't have nice things


[Verse]
                             F    
It was so nice being friends again
                                F     
There I was giving you a second chance
                                             F7 F   
But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand
                                                F        
And therein lies the issue friends don't try to trick you
F                                     
Get you on the phone and mindtwist you
                                 F7   
And so I took an axe to a mended fence
        Bb                              C     
But I'm not the only friend you've lost lately
        Gm                  
If only you weren't so shady


[Chorus]
                          F    Dm     Bb      C7
This is why we can't have nice things darling ■ 
F                      Dm                 Bb  
Because you break them I had to take them away
C7                        F           D7    Bb C7
This is why we can't have nice things honey ■  ■ 
F                             Dm                            Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me
C                        
This is why we can't have


[Bridge]
C                                
Here's a toast to my real friends
           C                              
They don't care about the he said she said
    C                
And here's to my baby
   C                                     
He ain't reading what they call me lately
    C                
And here's to my mama
       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
                                C              
Hahaha I can't even say it with a straight face


[Chorus]
                          F    Dm     Bb      C
This is why we can't have nice things darling ■
F                      Dm                 Bb  
Because you break them I had to take them away
C7                        F    Dm     Bb   
This is why we can't have nice things honey
C F                             Dm                            Bb
■ Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me
                     F           Dm            
This is why we can't ■ have nice things darling
Bb               C           
And here's to my real friends
F                 Dm                 Bb  
Because you break them I had to take them
                 C   
And here's to my baby
C7          F    
Nice things honey
Dm   Bb                       C               
They ■  didn't care about the he said she said
F                             Dm7                           Bb
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said about me
C                                    
This is why we can't have nice things
